R&B star Kehlani and actor-musician Ben Platt cover the new issue of GAY TIMES Magazine 📸 This August issue falls in the midst of the Paris 2024 Olympics, and though we’re all passionate about queer and trans inclusion in sport, and will fight any bans which try to suppress trans athletes’ right to participate, the only “games” mentioned in this issue is the 1989 video game Caper in the Castro. Instead of sports, you’ll find singer-songwriter Kehlani open up about finding gender euphoria on and off the stage, defiantly speaking her mind and her full-throttle new album, CRASH. Our second cover star is Ben Platt. The Broadway legend discusses his queer love album Honeymind, the status of his “chaotic” Netflix series The Politician and how he got to “kiss Superman”.

Musician Fever Ray and history-making Drag Queen Nymphia Wind cover the new issue of GAY TIMES Magazine 📸 The July issue of GAY TIMES comes shortly before Pride in London, and a spirit of celebration is in the air. Pride is a time for us to reflect on the year in queer life, so we hope this issue speaks to the breadth of the queer experience as a reminder of just how special our shared solidarity and power is. Following her triumphant reign on season 16 of RuPaul's Drag Race, where she became the franchise's first East Asian winner, Nymphia speaks with personal friend Joel Kim Booster about her historic win, gaining praise from Taiwan's President, and life post-Drag Race. Another queer trailblazer covering this issue is Swedish experimental musician Fever Ray. Speaking to Anna Cafolla, they discuss their There's No Place I'd Rather Be tour, overcoming chronic stage fright, accepting love into their life and the growing neo-fascism in Sweden.

Incredibly touched to have won Best Consumer Magazine coverage at the Visit USA Media Awards last night for my piece on Palm Springs for GAY TIMES 🌴 Thank you VISIT USA ASSOCIATION (UK) for the lovely recognition – and thank you FINN Partners UK for entering the piece (and inviting me on the trip last year!) As an LGBTQ+ traveler, I can honestly say Palm Springs is way up there as one of the most inclusive, welcoming and visually stunning destinations I've had the privilege of visiting. Visit Greater Palm Springs and Kimber Foster, CTE were such great hosts for our trip and really created an unforgettable experience.

I loved speaking with House of the Dragon stars Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cooke about the long-awaited second season, as well as (the next two bits are really important) which of their characters would in a lip-sync battle and how iconic female characters, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Elle Woods, would fare in Westeros. D'Arcy also discussed the significance of being a non-binary lead in one of TV's most-watched and championed franchises. https://lnkd.in/eeEXUSTr

So happy that GAY TIMES has partnered with Vevo for a second Pride season to spotlight and celebrate LGBTQ+ music artists. As well as the four we launched last year being refreshed for 2024, we have an additional six playlists showcasing queer talent in hip-hop, R&B, and Latin American music, as well as throwback anthems from the 80s and 00s. The playlists will be programmed on Vevo CTV channels globally throughout June, as well as being available on YouTube. Thank you Dot Levine, Elliot Jaillet and the Vevo team for working with us to celebrate the breadth and richness of music LGBTQ+ acts have to offer 🎵
