When it comes to representation in media, we all have actors, musicians and artists we point to for when we first felt seen and represented. When it comes to publishing, it’s vital that diverse voices and experiences are heard and reflected, especially those in LGBTQ+ communities.

The publication Gay Times has been around since 1974, sharing various queer narratives and shedding light on the issues and concerns many LGBTQ+ people faced in the U.K. and other areas around the globe. Now, the publication is here to underscore that pop culture and fashion is not all that its audience cares about, but also politics, human rights and other important subjects that are happening within the community and in the world at large.

On this episode of Young Influentials, Gay Times’ CEO Tag Warner joins Adweek digital editor and host Colin Daniels to discuss the history of Gay Times, its agency GT Group and how LGBTQ+ publishing is changing.
