GAY TIMES Honours and exciting new live music event scheduled for 2025

GT announces updated event schedule for 2025: more moments to celebrate  LGBTQIA+ culture and community.

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

School Book Bans: Texans Reject Pro-Censorship Hopefuls
recent rise in book bans, with PEN America reporting that the 2022-23 academic year saw 3,362 instances of book banning, a 33 percent increase from the previous year.Frank Strong, a teacher in Austin, Texas, who tracks school board elections, wrote in his Anger & Clarity newsletter that nine of the 15 candidates who ran on banning certain books from schools lost their races."Voters decided again to reject some of the worst, most anti-book candidates," Strong wrote, adding, "And, what's more, these results continued a clear pattern, stretching back through four election cycles to November 2022, of voters successfully organizing to resist extremist takeovers of their school boards."Strong tracked the races using a 23-page document that he compiled, which includes information on the candidates, whether they are for or against book bans, and what they have said about censorship in the past.Strong also tracked whether candidates were supported by groups such as Moms for Liberty, which advocates for "parental rights at all levels of government" and has worked to prevent schools from teaching LGBTQ+ content.Moms for Liberty supporters say American schools should focus their efforts on the country's illiteracy rate instead of teaching children about "gender ideology." Newsweek contacted Moms for Liberty for comment via email outside normal working hours.In September, Moms for Liberty endorsed Brandi Burkman in her school board election.
