Welcome once again to Q4Q, where Haley reads old LGBTQ Queer Personal Ads with their friends. In this episode, Haley and Sam dive into newspaper archives from Washington, D.C., San Francisco, St. Louis, and Philadelphia to peruse some ads that might be expecting too much. Follow us on our journey through resumes, Polaroids, and maybe even Guy Fieri? 

If you haven’t already, please give us a quick review and rating on iTunes or wherever you’re listening.
