A group for LGBT individuals in DeKalb, IL or neighboring cities to hang out, invite people to things, promote local events and business, or simply get to know each other!

Welcome to allies and questioning individuals, as long as allies remember that the focus of this group is for LGBT members in the community! ❤️🏳️‍🌈

This is a public group, so be wary of posting anything personal or sensitive that you may not want others to see. Staying public is important to allow for the most growth potential! So be safe and take care of yourself.

Do you know of any LGBT owned or allied businesses? Do you own one yourself? Follow this link to support the local community!
