A Field Guide to Gay and Lesbian Chicago Author:Kathie Bergquist, Robert McDonald Travel Deep into the Wilds of Chicago's Gay and Lesbian Communities with Anthropologists and Tour Guides Robert McDonald and Kathie Bergquist "Straights beware! This is another salvo in the culture wars to turn us all gay." — --Ira Glass, This American Life "An entertaining romp through the City of Big Shoulders, Pecs, and A... more »bs!"
--Scott Free, Outmusic 2005 Musician of the Year "Finally, a gay guidebook with a voice! Two delightful voices, actually. Kathie and Robert are so much fun to hang out with, this book will entertain the armchair traveller as well as the active explorer. And they are both SO gay; I defy anyone to read their defense of the Pride March and not pop a few buttons. For natives who need an update or first-time tourists, The Field Guide is fantastic! . . . Gay-positive, sex-positive, fun-positive."
--Linda Bubon, owner, Women & Children First bookstore, Chicago, IL "If you want a dull list of places to go, look elsewhere. If you want the real dirt not only on Chicago lesbian and gay locales but also on what embarrassing, exciting, or simply funny things happened to Kathie Bergquist or Robert McDonald and their friends in these places, check out this lively, engaging guide."
--Karen Lee Osborne, co-editor, Reclaiming the Heartland: Lesbian and Gay Voices from the Midwest "A travel guide with personality a plenty! Refreshing humor, sassy (data)tude, and solid research make this queer guide great for the visitor as well as the seasoned Chicago native. Don't leave your good time to chance. A Field Guide to Gay and Lesbian Chicago is as necessary for a winning vacation as comfortable walking shoes."
