GAY TIMES Magazine

1 July 2019

In the second of our Summer of Pride campaign, we’re celebrating a new era of rising LGBTQ talent. Using their often mainstream platforms to fly the flag for queer visibility, our new issue joins them all together – many voices, one platform. From her place as a global frontrunner in the music world to the long-awaited release her new project Clarity, we join pop princess Kim Petras on set for her exclusive GAY TIMES cover shoot as she prepares for the world to fall in love (again) with literally everything she releases. Shot in New York City, your obsession is about to reach breaking point as Kim turns out the lewks. Alongside cover star Kim this month is Brendan Scannell – the star of Netflix’s mega-hit Bonding – queer, visible and defying gender normalities with his fashion. Alongside exploring life on screen as queer dominatrix, Brendan’s never been one to avoid conversations others so often try to avoid. Here he tackles representation for sex workers, his love of fluid fashion and even the impossible idea of ‘Straight Pride’ – obviously a hard pass. What else would it be?! Also in this issue: UK Black Pride co-found Lady Phyll, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, Aurora, Drag Syndrome, Devery Jacobs, Gottmik, Plastique Tiara, Penguin Pride, Raymond Braun, plus fashion, travel and opinion pieces from all over the world!
