Let’s get physical!

We're so ready to be outside again this summer. Rather than the usual park or lakefront activities, why not switch it up and try out one of many LGBTQ+ sports groups and clubs in Chicago? It's a great way to a welcome cosmos to work out and train, find a brand-new hobby, and most importantly, meet new friends and community.

While a few clubs are planning on taking this season off due to limited capacity regulations, we found a bunch more that are up and active and looking for their newest member!

If you frequent the Northhalsted neighborhood and its bars, you’ve probably seen some folks in the iconic “Stonewall” sports tee-shirts. Joining one of the Stonewall teams isn’t just a amazing way to socialize, but also to give help to the community by fundraising for local non-profits through organized sports. Stonewall currently offers Bocce, Bowling, Dodgeball, Kickball, and also group game nights!

LGBTQ+ Support Groups in Chicago, IL

Born as a response to current political climate, this is a teletherapy group for queer folks to find a harmless space to navigate and process emotions, thoughts, and experiences. The group follows a trauma informed, and intersectionality-aware lens. To create safety, clients will launch by learning distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills. In tune with collective needs, we will wrap up sessions by debriefing and/or practicing mindfulness. **A Hispanic/Latine support/process group with a similar goal will also be available. Hablamos Español. Check out our website for more information.
