Chicago’s Gay & Lesbian Parents Group—which was active from the mid-1970s through the 1990s—will hold a reunion on Sunday, July 30, at 4 p.m. at Sidetrack, 3449 N. Halsted St.
The Gay Parents Group was founded in 1976, when a divorced lesbian mother placed an ad in GayLife newspaper announcing the formation of a support group for gay men and lesbians with children. Within a year the group had grown to nearly four dozen members and became too large to meet in people’s homes on a regular basis.
The meeting at Sidetrack will be a casual get-together, is free (cash bar), and open to all who belonged to the organization. For more information, go to facebook.com/ChicagoGLParentsGroup.
