Equality Illinois

This Chicago-based gay civil rights org seeks to defend, protect and secure equality for the LGBT folks who inhabit the Land of Lincoln. A smorgasbord of mixers and galas, including meet and greet nights at Sidetrack bar and seasonal wine tastings, aim to get your gay on board. If you really want to make a difference, there are even opportunties to go door-to-door or get on the bus for various rallies happening at the state capital (that's Springfield in case you weren't aware).
