Well, we’re actually40, since we started life asHIM magazine in 1974, beforebecoming Gay Times in 1984. Butdoesn’t every gay person have adifferent age on their profile atsome point in life...I can’t even begin to considerwhat those first writers andeditors – who had no idea theywere at the beginnings of theworlds longest-running gaymagazine – would have imaginedlife would be like in 2014.All those changes, those fights,those battles, those laws. Did theyever think that equality mightmean no one would want a gaymag anymore?But look at us now – still notentirely equal – but Gay Timeshas increased circulation over thepast five years alone, as well asgoing on to become a number oneselling digital magazine.Cut back to those offices in1984: “One day, people will readit on small slabs of metal andglass! No, honestly...”But no one cares aboutmagazines blowing their owntrumpets! It’s not about us.So this isn’t an issue full ofarticles all about how brilliantwe’ve been over the decades – howboring would that be?!In all of the above, those fights,those WARS, were, and still are,our soldiers. Those people whoshouted for our rights, who madeus visible, who supported us, whohelped to make bigoted, old-fashioned opinions change.Gay icons.We’ve heard the term bandiedaround a lot over the last threedecades. Many people seem tothink they’re one, or that the latest‘star offering’ is.But those stripes have to beearned, and this special issue ofGT is our homage to but a merefraction of those people, thosecharacters and those programmesthat have helped shape our lives.But so many!How do you narrow that down?By and large, we’ve focused onthose in the biggest platform forreaching people around the globe– people in the entertainmentindustry. We could, and will, fillhundreds more issues with thoselike you and I that’ve also helpedplay their part.Which meant we picked 30 iconsfrom the last 30 years. And, ofcourse, it’s by no means a listthat ‘ranks’ such people. Thoseare – what’s the word young gaypeople repeat at the moment? –reductive. They mean nothing,with the latest favoured thingbeing given precedent.Here, it’s not meant that oneis better than another, or thatthe person you hold dearest whois absent hasn’t played theirpart – we had a list of hundredsof people we could’ve spokento. That is, after all, what we’vebeen doing for the last 30 years.And isn’t that a great place tobe at, in 2014, that we have toomany gay icons to fit in oneissue of a magazine? Way backwhen, you’d struggle to find afraction of that.We salute them all, and wesalute you – all fighting the fightin your own way and makingthe world that little bit moreaccepting one day at a time. I’mhonoured to have played a tiny,tiny part in that over the last fiveyears at GT, and also to have metand worked with many, manyothers who’ve helped me playthat part. Who knows wherewe’ll be in 30 years from now,but for now, thank you for yoursupport, your feedback and yourgoddamn fabulousness. We’re allicons in our own way.■Darren Scott@darren_scottA smallselectionfrommore than438<coversESSUXT ILENESARONCTOBE29 Ogaytimes.co.uk15
