One of the world’s most talked-about art exhibitions is drawing crowds — and selling out repeatedly — at a quiet gallery tucked inside a Lincoln Park block.
“The First Homosexuals” at Chicago’s Wrightwood 659 is a groundbreaking, globe-trotting time machine into queer history before Stonewall. Covering the period of 1869-1939. From ancient artifacts to modern provocations, this powerful exhibit reclaims LGBTQ+ visibility across centuries and cultures. Bold, unapologetic, and nearly sold out — catch it before it vanishes into the annals of history.
