In the spirit of Queer History Month, the Daily decided to pay homage to one way that LGBTQ+ communities communicated before we found our hubs on the internet: personal ads. Typically found in newspapers, zines, and even on Craigslist, we are now hosting them on mcgilldaily.com for the first time.

Secret Admirers

To the person who’s 5’10” with a 10’5″ wingspan, I’m happy to know you and happier to be with you. I hope we’re together for another 10 months, but no more after that.
