LGBT NewsHow a Once Titanic Gay Chicago Newspaper Found Itself Riddled with Rumors, Bad Press and Struggling to Survive
The Chicago Free Press was once considered one of the best and most serious gay news sources in Chicago. But the differences between what the long-running and influential independent paper was even just a few months ago and what it is now, as many are predicting its potential demise, are wide-ranging.

A comparison look at two recent issues of the paper is enlightening. The news is bad.

There is, by most accounts, nothing particularly shocking or unexpected about the recently released Garry Marshall film, Valentine's Day. The film plays like a less sincere version of 2003's Love Actually, following a myriad of character's interwoven love stories. Though it's nothing unsurprising or unexpected, it is enjoyable enough to satisfy anyone looking for a lightly comical romance, bent on making your insides feel like they're being hugged by from something off of a LOL Cats website.
