GAY TIMES is 40 and we're celebrating with LGBTQIA+ icons from the worlds of sport, fashion, entertainment, drag and activism 🏳️‍🌈⁠ ⁠ In recent years, the journalism world has undergone no shortage of paradigm shifts and, as an LGBTQIA+ publication, GAY TIMES has weathered everything from censorship to police raids.⁠ ⁠ Today, however, GT emerges as the longest-running, queer-focussed magazine in Europe – and, with all we’ve overcome, we’ve got plenty to celebrate.⁠ ⁠ To help us do so, on this very special cover of GAY TIMES Magazine, we’ve gathered a brilliant selection of names from across the community and we're obsessed with the final result: a joyful, abundant celebration of queer excellence.⁠ ⁠ Read the new issue featuring @biminibabes, @munroebergdorf, @iamblackpeppa, @laytonwilliams, @josierones, @jakewilliamson, @meatballmolly, @paris.lees, and @lavalarue now at the link in bio 🔗⁠ ⁠ Photography by Alec Maxwell of @kloss_films⁠ Creative Direction by @juliasalotti / @umarsarwarx⁠ Editorial Direction by @meganhwallace⁠ Art Direction by @jackrowe_⁠ Fashion Direction by @umarsarwarx⁠ Production by @jameswarren / @todaymgmt / @tomhrdn / @mr.danreid⁠ Account Management by @emmurcaroline⁠ Stills Retouching by @sherif.projects⁠ Digital Tech by @aljazhabjan⁠ Lighting Assistance by @lukes.jpeg⁠ Hair Styling by @marcialuvlocks⁠ Make-up by @joshuaartist⁠ Rosie’s Stylist: @brittan_y_⁠ Munroe’s Hair Stylist: @jaybirmingham_⁠ Munroe’s Make-up Artist: @biancaspencermua⁠ Bimini’s Hair Stylist: @laurenbellhair⁠ Bimini’s Makeup Artist: @byron_london⁠ Layton’s Makeup Artist: @by.jackie_⁠ Fashion Assistance by @brxdturner / @lilyhobman / @camerongibbison⁠ Make-Up Artist Assistance by @billiepingault / @saps.slap⁠ Hair Stylist Assistance by Jessica Hau⁠ ⁠ Film Team⁠ Director, Editor & Grade: @kynzakj for @kloss_films⁠ Head of Social Production: @wonghollie⁠ DOP: @martiguiver⁠ Soundmix: @reflec__⁠ Music: @halezero
