Christopher Bigelow

Chicago’s Next Voices guest columnist

Christopher Bigelow — who is trans, works in publishing and volunteers at the Center on Halsted LGBTQ+ community center — is one of the Sun-Times’ Chicago’s Next Voices columnists.

Illinois is one of the safest states in the nation for members of the LGBTQ+ community, with many protections, guest columnist Christopher Bigelow says. It’s the right thing to do as other states are making the opposite choice.
