Windy City Times, the LGBT newspaper for Chicago, will mark its 25th anniversary with a special issue Wednesday.
According to the Associated Press, "The issue will feature front pages from the weekly paper's first year and columns from writers who worked in the gay media in the 1980s."
Windy City Times was founded in September 1985 at the height of the AIDS crisis.
Tracy Baim, a cofounder and current publisher, said the milestone indicates why LGBT media outlets still have a crucial mission.
"She says now that gay issues are covered better in the mainstream media, niche publications are crucial for covering the community in more meaningful ways," reported the AP.
