GAY TIMES (stylized in all caps), also known as GAY TIMES Magazine and as GT, is a LGBTQ+ media brand established in 1975.[2] Originally a magazine for gay and bisexual men, the company now includes content for the LGBTQ+ community across a number of outlets - including a monthly magazine,[3] a website updated daily with news and culture content, and a number of social-media platforms.[4]

Publication and content[]

GAY TIMES Magazine is published digitally each month in the United Kingdom and distributed globally,[5] and includes interviews, fashion, news, features, music, film, style and travel. GAY TIMES also features an online site[6] as well as social promotion channels[7] under the brand name.

The magazine is published by GAY TIMES Ltd. The current CEO of GAY TIMES Ltd. is Tag Warner,[8] who was appointed in January 2019.[9] The magazine ceased print publication in September 2021 and now releases a digital issue each month via the GAY TIMES app, Apple News+, Readly and other popular digital publication providers.[1] The current editorial director of GAY TIMES is Lewis Corner.[10]

Amplify by GAY TIMES is a monthly digital cover story which focuses on emerging talent and community conversations.[11] It was created in January 2019.

In September 2021, GAY TIMES became the first LGBTQ+ publication to pass a million followers on Instagram.[12]

ELEVATE by GAY TIMES and Apple Music is a collaboration between the companies with the aim to support and platform emerging LGBTQ+ music talent.[13] Previous ELEVATE artists include Arlo Parks, Rina Sawayama, Victoria Monét and Hope Tala.

The organisation hosts GAY TIMES Honours, an annual awards show celebrating figures in and beyond the LGBTQ+ community for their contributions.[14] Previous winners include Sir Ian McKellen, Pabllo Vittar, Honey Dijon, Kylie Minogue and akt.[15] This began in 2017.[16]
