Who says all of gay print media is dying? Sure rags open and close at a blink, and many East Coast titles have shuttered, but Chicago’s Windy City Times today celebrates its 25th anniversary, surviving even the Chicago Free Press to become the city’s last standing gay paper. Tracy Baim, one of WCT‘s co-founders (along with Bob Bearden and Drew Badanish), today remains its publisher.

Chicago only has one gay paper left?! Wow. Congrats to the WCT, but I’m pretty sad we’ve lost the Chicago Free Press.
