About Windy City Times
Founded in September 1985, Windy City Times helped document the rise of Chicago’s LGBTQ+ movement, from the fight for gay rights to the battles against HIV/AIDS, the rise of trans organizing, to the push for visibility by lesbians and people of color. That and so much more was documented in the thousands of issues of LGBTQ+ media published by Windy City Times, Outlines, and sister publications.
On display in the Sandfield Exhibition Gallery from through January 2026.
