LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Thirty years
is a landmark
in any
relationship.
And while
we’re not the type to blow our
own trumpet, we don’t think
we’re looking too bad for 30 years
in print. Well, we’re actually
40, since we started life as
HIM magazine in 1974, before
becoming Gay Times in 1984. But
doesn’t every gay person have a
different age on their profile at
some point in life...
I can’t even begin to consider
what those first writers and
editors – who had no idea they
were at the beginnings of the
worlds longest-running gay
magazine – would have imagined
life would be like in 2014.
All those changes, those fights,
those battles, those laws. Did they
ever think that equality might
mean no one would want a gay
mag anymore?
But look at us now – still not
entirely equal – but Gay Times
has increased circulation over the
past five years alone, as well as
going on to become a number one
selling digital magazine.
Cut back to those offices in
1984: “One day, people will read
it on small slabs of metal and
glass! No, honestly...”
But no one cares about
magazines blowing their own
trumpets! It’s not about us.
So this isn’t an issue full of
articles all about how brilliant
we’ve been over the decades – how
boring would that be?!
In all of the above, those fights,
those WARS, were, and still are,
our soldiers. Those people who
shouted for our rights, who made
us visible, who supported us, who
helped to make bigoted, old-
fashioned opinions change.
Gay icons.
We’ve heard the term bandied
around a lot over the last three
decades. Many people seem to
think they’re one, or that the latest
‘star offering’ is.
But those stripes have to be
earned, and this special issue of
GT is our homage to but a mere
fraction of those people, those
characters and those programmes
that have helped shape our lives.
But so many!
How do you narrow that down?
By and large, we’ve focused on
those in the biggest platform for
reaching people around the globe
– people in the entertainment
industry. We could, and will, fill
hundreds more issues with those
like you and I that’ve also helped
play their part.
Which meant we picked 30 icons
from the last 30 years. And, of
course, it’s by no means a list
that ‘ranks’ such people. Those
are – what’s the word young gay
people repeat at the moment? –
reductive. They mean nothing,
with the latest favoured thing
being given precedent.
Here, it’s not meant that one
is better than another, or that
the person you hold dearest who
is absent hasn’t played their
part – we had a list of hundreds
of people we could’ve spoken
to. That is, after all, what we’ve
been doing for the last 30 years.
And isn’t that a great place to
be at, in 2014, that we have too
many gay icons to fit in one
issue of a magazine? Way back
when, you’d struggle to find a
fraction of that.
We salute them all, and we
salute you – all fighting the fight
in your own way and making
the world that little bit more
accepting one day at a time. I’m
honoured to have played a tiny,
tiny part in that over the last five
years at GT, and also to have met
and worked with many, many
others who’ve helped me play
that part. Who knows where
we’ll be in 30 years from now,
but for now, thank you for your
support, your feedback and your
goddamn fabulousness. We’re all
icons in our own way.
