Across 2024, GAY TIMES has proudly celebrated its 40th Anniversary Year.
From our special 40th Anniversary GAY TIMES Magazine issue, featuring some of the biggest LGBTQIA+ names on the planet, to uncovering parts of our archive for the very first time, to events in the United Kingdom, United States and Spain — the home of GT Español, it’s been a big year for GT.
This summer, we proudly displayed every cover of GAY TIMES Magazine for the very first time at a special 40th Anniversary exhibition in our home town, London.

We’ve loved marking and celebrating this important year with so many of you – our community. Across our events and celebrations in 2024, we’ve seen more of you, from more places than ever before, interact with the GT ecosystem.
As with any big birthday, as our celebrations draw to a close, it’s time for some life updates.
GAY TIMES Honours
Since its inception in 2017, we’ve celebrated GAY TIMES Honours in November each year. The event grew from humble beginnings into a multi-stage celebration and one of the biggest LGBTQIA+ nights of the year.
We’re excited to announce GAY TIMES Honours is moving to a new date earlier in the year, set apart from awards season to give it its own space in the calendar.
The new format will continue to celebrate those in our global community who trailblaze in their own arena.
We’re looking forward to sharing more details in the coming months on the new-look GAY TIMES Honours.
New Music Event
We know many in our community are brought together through our love of music — and some of the biggest stars on the planet regularly grace the cover of GAY TIMES Magazine.
Music is in our DNA, so we’re excited to be developing a new music based event, bringing together our community and allies, in a brand new original format.
This event has been developed with the community in mind, so we’re excited to share more information about this extra special format in early 2025.
We are always looking for new ways to put our audience and community first, and as our 40th Anniversary Year draws to a close, we’re looking forward to these fresh and exciting additions to the world of GT across 2025.
