London, United Kingdom. 04 June 2021 – GAY TIMES announces GT133, a first of its kind group of eight young queer creatives. The ‘members’ of the group will act as the new faces of GAY TIMES on TikTok.
GT133 represents the next generation of queer talent. Harnessing the voices and unique insight of these emerging young creatives, primarily known for their ever-growing presence on TikTok, GAY TIMES is combining its global reach and trusted legacy to deliver a new era of original content to the next generation of GAY TIMES consumer through the creation of GT133.

Tag Warner, GAY TIMES CEO:
Since taking the helm of the iconic title, I have always believed that GAY TIMES should be democratised by handing the power of our platforms into the hands of community voices themselves.
For the last 12 months, with the dramatic rise in popularity of platforms such as TikTok, we have been working steadfastly to create a new way for our Gen-Z audience to interact with the brand, not limited to our existing platforms.
GAY TIMES has always had a pioneering spirit – and I am very excited to be launching GT133 and our next generation of faces of the GAY TIMES brand in a way that has never been done before. GT133 is the first group of Gen-Z LGBTQ+ people to be brought together and supported in this way, and we are proud to be spearheading this movement.
We are all energised to champion the members of GT133 individually in their unique endeavours and diverse ambitions over the coming months. Watch this space!
