Gay Times: They Are A-Changin'

After a hard day being proud yesterday, Fagburn rushed to the shop after hearing the Guardian had a 'special supplement' The Scene: Rainbow Years - Celebrating 30 years of Gay Times that wasn't available online.

After this spread galloping through the history of GT, you get 30something pages of ads, 'sponsored content' and advertorial, about cosmetic surgery, teeth whitening, fitness drinks, adoption agencies, careers with the police, travel agents, estate agents, West End musicals, gay wedding venues, underpants etc etc etc.

Best £2.50 I ever spent

    How depressing was that????
    I honestly couldn't believe it.
    The single spread didn't say anything substantial at all, it was such an arbitrary selection of briefly outlined 'moments' that it was utterly meaningless as a celebration or a history.
    And after that it really was 30+ pages of advertorial and nothing else.

    I still can't quite believe it.
