Sitting in her home and sifting through thousands of negatives and photos of prominent LGBTQ activists like Daniel Sotomayor and Dr. Ron Sable, Tracy Baim had a searing memory of taking some of the last pictures of key figures in the queer rights movement while they were still alive and fighting.
Although Windy City Times “probably should have shut down a decade ago,” co-founder and co-owner Baim said the media outlet has persevered in spite of financial difficulties, mainly by relying on the kindness of strangers and personal sacrifice.
“The entire time I’ve been doing this, the money has been the hardest part of doing the work,” Baim said. “Everything else comes easy. I love telling the stories, taking the photos and doing the video. Telling the stories of the lives of people who are often ignored in the mainstream is the greatest honor.”
