SUMMARY:Chicago Queer History: Public and Private Queerness
DESCRIPTION:July 12 Public and Private Queerness \nWhen: Saturday\, July 12\, 1 pm\nStart: Chicago Water Tower (801 N Michigan Ave)\nEnd: Chicago Water Tower (801 N Michigan Ave)\nDistance: apx 2 miles \nThe Historian John D’Emilio observed that the rise of the industrial city in the 19th century created the conditions that allowed queer community to form.

We’ll explore a gay gangster\, the mysterious disappearance of a federal judge\, a pre-prohibition drag bar and much more.

SUMMARY:Chicago Queer History: Police\, Gangsters\, and Gay Bars
DESCRIPTION:The University of Chicago sociologist Ernest Burgess observed that the city contains “zones of transition” that sat between areas of the city with clearly defined purposes and which people often used for activities which society frown upon. These areas were often the places that fomented queer culture in the industrial city – but that required an interaction between queerness and other criminal behavior. Learn about the delicate interaction between queerness\, the state’s monopoly on legitimate violence\, and organized crime as we investigate the delicate negotiations and compromises required to keep queer institutions open in the city in the 20th century.
