What is Chicago Market Days?

I keep seeing it pop up and assumed at first it is basically gay pride in the summer, but I looked at the hashtag on Twitter and it looks like it's hardcore porn and sex parties.

Where did this come from? How long has it been around? Will it be a superspreader event?

R4 During Pride events, people post photos in rainbow attire, hanging out with friends of all kinds, brunching, etc. Yes, parades and clubs feature scantily clad people. But when I search for #DCpride or #NYCpride, Twitter doesn't return a bunch of hardcore porn and pictures of 5,000 naked men crowded together.

Market Days used to literally refer to a street festival held along North Halsted Street in Boystown.

Now it refers to the parties, raves and orgies that happen the same weekend and attract whores from all over the country, eager to spread diseases.

It used to be just a Boystown specific, gay specific version of the neighborhood events that happen in every neighborhood in Chicago.

Four blocks along Halsted blocked off with booths - some food and drink, some vendors. I've bought art there. A porn shop had an outdoor booth there. One year we walked away with bags of paper towels, keychains and Wyler's drink mix (among the freebies being given away). Also a mix of non profits, churches, etc. trying to promote themselves. I remember Berwyn, a suburb, had a booth there for years to try to encourage young gay couples to move there.

They've really ramped up the concerts in the last 10-15 years - much higher level talent then they used to do.

I'm sure a lot of shit goes down at night - any weekend is about sex and drugs and on a weekend where people are in from out of town that's more so. It's definitely NOT as crowded as Chicago Pride, which is way more packed and dense, but it does draw people in over the weekend.

But it isn't like that all day. A lot of the daytime stuff includes babies and strollers, or people walking their doggies. Yes, there's a guy in a jock sitting in a lifeguard chair, but it's also community time as well.

R22, delta is much more contagious than earlier variants, and vaccinated people are perfectly capable of getting and transmitting it, even if you don't get "seriously ill." If your goal is just not to get into the hospital, fine, but the virus still spreads and strengthens through this kind of activity among the vaccinated—and not everyone here will be vaccinated, or from the north side of Chicago for that matter.

R38 IML is always Memorial Day weekend. It did not happen in 2020 or 2021. It's being planned for 2022.

IML used to happen in conjunction with Bear Pride, but Bear Pride lost a lot of interest in the last few years, because there are so many bear events and no one wanted to fly to Chicago to fuck the same 50 fatties. I think the whole thing shut down a few years back.

Other than the fact that both IML and Market Days happen in Chicago, there's no real relationship between the two. Market Days may be nominally safer as it happens outside (while I believe IML would be all inside) but the variant + the density probably cancels out any safety from an outdoor event.

Market Days played a role in me coming out to my parents.

After my freshman year at Northwestern, I stayed in Evanston to work for the summer. My parents and sister came from Minnesota to visit me that summer. I asked a co-worker what I could do with them beyond the obvious tourist attractions. He told me to take them to this cool street fair and told me the street coordinates. Don't know if he was playing a joke or sensed I was gay or what, but we went to Market Days. They were dumbfounded; I was dumbfounded. I told them I had no idea what it was before taking them there. I really didn't. But, they were suspicious. For the next few months they'd bring it up -- "why would you take us there." The question was a little off because being gay was no reason to take them there. If I had been out, I would not have taken them there. Nevertheless, their urging suspicion actually made me more comfortable about telling them and I came out to them when I was home for Thanksgiving that fall.

Market Days itself is just an outdoor music festival. Steve Grand, Trixie, Todrick Hall etc were playing.

However it has become a major node on the gay circuit, with lots of private circuit parties that weekend. More circuit gays go to Chicago for Market days than Pride.

I will say all the gay bars were checking vaccine status to get in. The gays are very provaccine group at least.

Market Days is just simply fun. Even up and down the street it's a fun time to be in the city. I love the gay summer season in Chicago which ends with Out at the Park, gay night at Six Flags. Since we actually protected our gayboorhood, we can have these unapologetically gay events in our own space. Funny enough, Cubs had a game against the White Sox on Sunday. Boystown is about 2-3 blocks fro Wrigleyville. So you had a lot of gay men proudly strutting through crowds of suburban baseball fans giving zero shits about their outfits or stares since many left MD to head to their parties as the baseball game was letting out. Most people didn't say shit and it's generally not a problem. Chicago police, for their part, do a good job in Lakeview of keeping everyone safe and things orderly. The Alderman in the area is also gay and powerful so that helps a lot. This is the beauty of Chicago's (north side). We work hard to make it livable/tourist friendly for gays and straights. I felt safe in my city walking amongst a literal herd of drunk, straight, people, even in my short shorts and tank top. They knew I was gay and coming from Market Days but again, zero issues.

Market Days also feels more like our own little Pride. We love our straight allies which come out in droves to Pride, but this is more adult and more gay. It's not all about sex, there are circuit parties and bath houses but on the streets you'll see drag performers, booths, food, DJs, and live music, nothing that shocking. Yes, some men will be in speedos or jockstraps, but in Europe showing skin isn't shocking, so why should we act like prudes just because the rest of America wants to be conservative.

Market Days is 100x more fun than Pride/Pride Fest (a mini Market Days) in my opinion because it feels more authentic and less commercial. I think people should check it out and the rest of the city when it comes around. It's not all about drugs and parties, it's more about enjoying an outdoor fest. If you want to dance and party all night there are options, best of both worlds.

r91 that's why Chicago is special for gays. In some ways, we've achieved the goal of acceptance, not just tolerance, without sacrificing gay spaces. But, only in some ways and in some very specific areas of the city. We are also a nice city due to the Midwest charm. I spoke to gays from all over and each one mentioned that people in Chicago are just nice.

I think it helps that unlike other major cities we don't hate our guests or tourists areas, as residents in other areas appears to do, cough NY. Its a shame that other major cities didn't protect or build gayborhoods, but everywhere has a 1000 reasons for the makeup of their city.

I just think that because Cubs fans are typically from Chicago burbs, which are more liberal than average, and that the worlds really only cross paths at the Addison Red Line area, and because Wrigglyville is full of younger people or younger couples, it is built in that the people visiting accept that the gays exist, just as the gays accept that the Clark Street people exist. I hear a lot of shit about drunk frat boy types from my gay friends (I find a lot of them hot as hell so I don't complain) and I'm sure they say the same about the gays behind closed doors. In public, we just get a long and go about our business. this is how cities are supposed to work!

I was there the year ONJ performed.

Leslie Jordan was also performing a comedy routine during the day. ONJ stopped by to see him and I recognized her. She put her finger to her lips to shhhh me with a smile. She was lovely.

She had no voice whatsoever but she could have farted into a mic and the crowd would have loved her.

Wow, "travel nurse" Jake went straight from the Market Days petri dish to Ibiza, and Aaron Schock liked this post. What are the chances they haven't swapped some juices at some of these gay DNA-mixing parties?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that someone who travels constantly to vacation destinations and circuit parties and posts half-naked photos daily and only occasionally posts photos in scrubs to advertise for the scrubs brand is a traveling hooker (allegedly!) and not a healthcare provider.

It’s not fucking “Northalsted”. JFC it’s Boystown, it’s always been Boystown, and it will always be Boystown. I know the trans folks desperately want dicks but changing the name of Boystown isn’t going to accomplish that. And Market Days is the latest gay super spreader event. Anyone going to Market Days in 2021 is out of their minds.

Lori and her wife Amy are friendly with a lesbian couple I'm close with. My friends, along with everyone else in their lesbian circle, have been telling Lori for years that she's needs a stylist. Or at least a decent tailor shop where she can take clothes to to be properly fitted. Lori, who has always dressed this way, tells everyone who brings it up she cannot be bothered. (Sidenote: When lesbians are saying you need fashion help, you know it's bad.) Photo is Lori, Amy and their daughter.

Funny r142 makes that statement (obviously knowing nothing about the north side of Chicago) considering thousands of Cubs fans and Market Day attendees descended on the area and not one shooting or bashing anywhere near Lakeview. Lakeview is basically a suburb pretending to be a city neighborhood, which is common throughout many affluent parts of Chicago, outside of the Streeterville, Gold Coast, the Loop, and West Loop.

Everyone will do bareback whether you’re on prep or not these days. It’s so bad almost no one even asks for a test or if someone is on prep they just assume because everyone does it. I remember when porn videos used to have big hold disclaimers in the early 2010s when studios did the barebacking thing. Now the disclaimer is very small or at the end of the video or not at all. Amazing progression of the community since prep came on the scene six years ago.

There will be another superbug.

It is kind of amazing actually that HIV 1 didn't evolve into more-resistant superviruses over the past decades as COVID has spun off a half dozen variants in one year. I realize they are transmitted differently and have different etiologies, but it's still interesting.

PrEP should not be as foolproof as people believe it to be, and I don't believe it actually is. All the pharmaceutical manufacturers state that PrEP should always be used as an adjunct to condoms and safer sex practices, not as a replacment for them, which everyone ignores. I'm not surprised that individual men ignore this but I am somewhat surprised the sex industry does given the high liability positions they are in. (Yes, I know they have their sex workers waive personal rights...)

I will never not be cognizant that HIV has a 5-15 year incubation period before it suddenly makes itself known as AIDS, and that HIV was undetectable until it wasn't because obviously there can be no test for a disease that is not known to exist.

STDs in particular seem to be good at having long-delayed presentations as they break down the body over time. Syphilis often goes unnoticed for 8-15 years, hepatitis C even longer, and then they break down the body beyond repair as AIDS does.

As men are injecting one another exponentially (one gay man in Chicago who has sex with 50 gay men, each of whom have sex with 50 gay men in a year, is a sexually transmitted virus's dream host) with potentially contaminated fluids, a liquid time bomb could be ticking away while everyone feels protected by a magic pill.

Of all entities in the world today, a pharmaceutical company is among the least trustworthy.

R184 I think it's a fallacy to assume that a porner is "scoring" by hooking up with someone who went to Harvard. Jared Kushner and George W. Bush are among the great minds whose daddies have purchased them Harvard degrees. And honestly, the world would be a lot better off if they had been able to flush their futures by drifing toward sex work instead of using those degrees to pretend credibility and get placed into high offices. A Harvard degree does not a great person make.
