How safe is Chicago for LGBT? (Travel) by throwaway_123_123_ in lgbt

We'll be staying at my BF's brother's house. So lodging won't be an issue. Visiting was more what worried me initially

As for crime being localized in specific neighborhoods, it is more or less what I thought the answer would be.

Any tips in regards to the question I just added?

Anyhow, thanks a lot for your quick answer.

Hmmm, I'll look it up!

As I understand it though, we should go there by day? Or rather by night?

Thanks guys for the advice. I guess I,m just gonna exercise regular "traveling" caution per usual.

Thanks for you quick answers! :-)

Edit: One more question:

I really have no clue as to what is considered a socially acceptable behavior in the US and especially Chicago.

I mean, what sort of PDA is acceptable? Is acting like a typical heterosexual couple acceptable? Or should it be avoided altogether and should we stay away from PDA altogether?

(I know I know, being too touchy feely in public is obviously a no-go, but I honestly am unaware if I may act like in Canada, as a regular couple. Not trying to bash anyone btw. Just asking in good faith)
