Joe Gallagher, 37, of Chicago, center, booked his hotel room four months in advance, knowing this weekend, Saturday June 18, 2022, at The Dunes would be a hit. “It’s [also] great for me to see a gay business thriving,” said Gallagher, “to be able to come to a vacation destination as ourselves is so important.” Reported for WBEZ Chicago.
