Cafe Pride

The Café Pride store provides logo wear for our staff and patrons. We have chosen to receive no income from these sales. Café Pride is located in the Parish House of Lake View Presbyterian Church at 716 W. Addison in Chicago, Illinois. Although we meet in a church and many of us are religious, we don't require you to be religious. (We don't beat up people with the Bible, but we will talk about religion if you're interested.) We believe that being religious and being gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, or questioning is not a contradiction. Café Pride is a ministry of gay and straight people with the conviction that growing up requires a lot of mental and emotional work. We believe that sometimes that work is best accomplished in a safe space where other pressures can be ignored. We believe in encouraging spirituality among all persons, but we aren't trying to convert anyone to any one religious tradition.
