Gay Times state that their mission is to represent the truly multifaceted nature of the queer community. Whether its lifestyle, music, drag, fashion, they cover so many important topics and spread awareness on policy changes and the ongoing global fight for liberation. One of the first gay magazines we ever bought, Gay Times has been a resource for the LGBTQ community since 1974. They also pride themselves on bringing news on serious issues affecting LGBT+ people all over the world. We also love the fact that each issue tackles a specific topic, whether that’s the sexuality issue, the body issue, style issue and so on. They cover everything from travel, to lifestyle, keeping active, fashion and have many amazing featured interviews. We love Attitude Magazine and have had a subscription for years. In no particular order… The 10 Best Gay Magazines in Print and Online Attitude MagazineĪttitude is the UK’s best-selling and award-winning gay magazine. Of course, there are plenty of topics and issues specific to being part of the LGBTQ community that simply aren’t covered in other magazines making these gay magazines all the more important. These gay magazines can be a lifeline to some people. We want to engage, read and digest media where we feel represented and that we can relate to. When people ask ‘why does it have to be a gay magazine’, we have a simple answer. We aren’t talking about those ‘top shelf’ magazines (although eyes were drawn here to!), we are talking about the amazing gay magazines focused on lifestyle, travel, fashion and day to day life that is often massively underrepresented for the gay community.
When we were younger and not yet out, our eyes were always drawn to the gay magazines in the local shop.
