Rex James
Meet October storyteller Rex James. The Universe gave Rex the gift of managing the Town Hall Apartments two years after coming out of the closet at age 56. Town Hall is the only affordable housing property specifically developed for LGBTQ seniors 55+ in Chicago. Rex finds joy in supporting and listening to the residents’ stories, many who paved the way for the gay rights we have today.
Rex currently lives with his partner on the lakefront in Rogers Park, is an avid cyclist, enjoys being outdoors (when it’s warm) and has never met a stranger. His email tagline is; Our stories are powerful, change lives and connect us to one another. When was the last time you’ve taken time to listen? Hear Rex’s story Tuesday, October 7, at OUTspoken at Sidetrack. Seating from 6pm, stories 7-9pm.
