GAY TIMES

We’ve been a vital resource for the LGBTQ community since 1974. Whether that’s been spreading crucial awareness on policy changes and our global queer siblings’ ongoing fight for liberation, to the very latest in LGBTQ culture. Our mission is to represent the truly multifaceted nature of the queer community.

With the largest online audience of any queer publication in the world, we’re reaching more people than ever before, and continue to create and facilitate authentic connections with our vibrant worldwide community.

Editor’s Letter

Gotta Have It

For Fletcher, love isn't the drug - it’s the antidote • The New Jersey singer-songwriter discusses the complexities of healing, reuniting with Shannon Beveridge, and her sophomore album, In Search Of the Antidote.

Trans and non-binary communities are finding gender autonomy through hormone microdosing • Increasingly, trans+ folk are opting for lower or more gradual dosages of hormones – whether by DIY methods or via the NHS. Vic Parsons explores why.

As drugs get stronger, the future of queer nightlife needs to be harm reduction informed • Issac Muk explores the queer-led organisations focussing on the realities of drugs and helping to educate about how to take them more safely.

How Ozempic infiltrated the queer community – and why off-brand diet drugs are replacing it • The risky rise of the weight loss drug comes with multiple, under-researched concerns for LGBTQIA+ users, from our sex lives, to how we party.

“Y’all know I’m going boysober for a year”: how queer Gen-Z rebranded celibacy • It’s no secret that LGBTQIA+ youth are ditching dating apps. Now, it looks like they’re leaving behind hook-up culture and going “sober”, aka celibate, when it comes to sex and relationships. We ask LGBTQIA+ Gen-Zers why.

Attempts to criminalise chemsex users are making the queer scene less safe than ever • GAY TIMES finds that up to 1,000 people have died of possible chemsex-related harms in the past decade, so why are police attending callouts instead of ambulances?
