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]
