Gay Magazines in the UK

There are a number of publications for the gay audiences in the United Kingdom. Magazines for gay men, lesbian women, and gender-neutral gay publications fill a broad spectrum of journalistic styles and focus on a variety of subjects.

The best-selling gay magazine in the United Kingdom is Attitude, launched in 1994. It is a high-profile publication, that is distributed internationally as well. Its celebrity covers have included Tony Blair, Sacha Baron Cohen in his Bruno persona, the late Heath Ledger, cult gals Kylie Minogue and Madonna, gay icons like Elton John, George Michael and Rufus Wainwright, and Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, whose interview for Attitude was his first ever interview for a gay publication; in it he spoke out vehemently against homophobia. Attitude has profiled a number of important topics, including the predicament of gay migrants who seek asylum, increase in conservative politics, and has covered UK and US presidential elections.

Gay Times and Diva are brother-and-sister papers for gay men and lesbians, respectively. Gay Times is a well--rounded publication, which includes political items, humor and satire, art, reviews, a lifestyle section, as well as advertisements for everything from escorts to counsellors. Gay Times were behind the very first advertising campaign to feature a gay kiss, which gained them both notoriety and increased popularity among their readers.

Diva is the top lesbian publication in the United Kingdom. It also has a broad scope, and includes features on a variety of lesbian and bisexual political and lifestyle issues. Many gay and lesbian icons give in-depth interviews to Diva, and the magazine's covers have included such celebrities as Scarlett Johannson, Mia Kirshner, Katherine Moenning, Lucy Lawless, and Sharon Stone.

Not a nice subject to think about but if you ever need one you can go here for small cash loans. On a happier note, try here for short term car insurance  churchill insurance or direct line insurance. Female? you may be looking for women's cheap car insurance.

Another prominent lesbian publication in the United Kingdom is g3--an award-winning free magazine available both in paper versions at gay venues, and in digital format on their website. g3 also features celebrity interviews, but also has regular features on travel, fashion, and arts, as well as film, music, and performances reviews.

Another free magazine, this one for gay men, is Bent, which can be found in gay clubs and bars throughout the United Kingdom. It is primarily entertainment-focused: celebrity interviews, entertainment reviews, gossip--but it also has a substantial lifestyle section, in which it provides health advice and fashion overview. Racier features include Bent's profiles of adult entertainers and erotic fiction.

Boyz is essentially a gay tabloid publication, focusing on celebrities, the gay scene, and nightly listings of clubs, performances, and other entertainment venues.

Finally, Fyne Times is a free magazine for both gays and lesbians. It is family-friendly; lacking in adult content, it can be found in libraries, youth clubs, hotels and hostels.
