Gay Times cover for July 2017

Gay Times, also known as GT, formerly Gay Times (incorporating Gay News), is a glossy A4 monthly magazine published by Millivres Prowler Group and sold in mainstream newsagents, such as W H Smith.

Gay Times was founded in 1984 as a merger of Gay News and Him magazine. It claims to be "probably the original gay magazine in the world".

The editor was Darren Scott until he stepped down in October 2017,[1] being replaced by Josh Rivers who was suspended the following month following the discovery of highly offensive tweets.[2]

As of 2011, GT's circulation was 68,143 and its readership 170,358. The audience was 98% male and 78% aged 18–44.[3]
