Armistead Maupin on Trans Rights and Growing Up Gay in a Homophobic Household

Mar 14, 2024 | Author Armistead Maupin is a pioneer - writing about AIDS and HIV for a mass audience and daring to include gay, lesbian, trans and queer lives when few others were.

His ‘Tales of the City’ series, which started as a newspaper column in 1974, became worldwide best-selling novels and a Netflix series. It chronicles the lives of queer people in San Francisco and pokes fun at morality and social norms, touching millions of readers and viewers over 50 years. The beloved saga is now back for its 10th and final instalment, Mona of the Manor.

Now in his late 70s and living in London, the American writer opens up to Krishnan Guru-Murthy about growing up in the South in a “sexist, homophobic” conservative family, how he came to embrace the LGBTQ community, what life was like at the peak of the AIDS epidemic in the 80s.

Greenland Is Queer-friendly, Not for Sale, and Not Impressed by Trump

Jan 21, 2026 | Greenland, the world’s largest island and a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark, has a very small population, and that population includes LGBTQ people. Greenland has marriage equality and very open attitudes toward the Queer community. LGBTQ people feel so safe and integral that there are few designated queer spaces, though the country’s capital or even Copenhagen is available to those who want a more urban feel with more obvious queer spaces.

Speaking of Greenland, apparently, Donald Trump is serious about wanting to take it against the will of the Greenlanders and Danish people, but many of the people in the US aren't really on board with taking over Greenland. A recent poll shows that about 75% of Americans are opposed to the US trying to take control of Greenland. In fact, there's bipartisan opposition to the idea, with some lawmakers warning that using military force could damage the NATO alliance.

Denmark and Greenland's leaders have made it clear they're not interested in selling, saying "Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders" and demanding respect for their territorial integrity. Even some Greenlanders are speaking out, citing concerns about preserving their way of life, including hunting traditions.

It's worth noting that President Trump has been pushing for US control, citing national security concerns and the island's strategic location, but it seems like he's facing significant resistance both domestically and internationally.

Several NATO nations have pledged to defend Greenland, and Trump is threatening tariffs on those nations. Good God, Squad, WTF?

What’s Holding You Back from the Life You Deserve? | Gay Man Healing Journey

Feeling stuck or unfulfilled as a gay man? You’re not alone. Many of us have spent years hiding our true selves, shrinking to fit in, or seeking love through approval. In this video, we explore gay men’s mental health, healing from past trauma, and rebuilding self-worth — so you can finally live the life you truly deserve.

Maybe you’ve been told to “be less,” or learned to survive by putting others first. But deep down, a part of you knows: this isn’t the life you want. If you’re exploring trauma healing, emotional growth, or building real confidence as a gay man, this video speaks to your journey.

We’ll talk about what’s really holding you back — and how to reclaim your inner power, begin healing, and reconnect with your authentic needs.
In this video on personal development for gay men, we’ll explore:

• Why so many gay men learn to shrink themselves
• The emotional cost of hiding who you really are
• How to begin your healing journey by reconnecting with your inner strength
• The importance of loving yourself first — before seeking love from others

It’s time to remember who you are: your strength, your beauty, your flaws, your passions. Because you matter — and you are worthy of living a life of joy, pleasure, and authenticity.


This is a very sincere and sensible message. A great help to young gay people trying to come to terms with their difficulties in life. – Mark Alexander

Growing Up Gay in Canada

Apr 25, 2024 | Stephen Chambers sheds light on the fear and hurdles he had to overcome as a gay man.

My goodness! Gay people have had to suffer since time immemorial simply for preferring to kiss and love people of their own sex instead of people of the opposite sex. It is unbelievable that this benighted world we inhabit still makes such a big thing about something so simple and natural. By the way, it is natural by dint of the very fact it occurs in nature. Anything that occurs in nature is natural.

It is high time that people got over their biases and prejudices. Gays have always existed; and they will continue to exist – forever! It is therefore high time that benighted people stopped making gay people’s lives a misery.

For your information, some of the most refined men I have ever met have been gay. Even though I have actually mixed with very few gay men in my whole life — I didn’t come out until my late forties! — one thing has always stood out for me: gay men are often extremely refined, erudite, and are fond of the finer things this life has to offer. The gay men I have known have always been rather well-dressed, and lovers of fine food and wines. They are also frequently very good conversationalists, probably because they are usually very well-read. – © Mark Alexander

All Out with Jon Dean: Is It Now Cool for Young People to Be Gay?

Jul 22, 2024 | Tag Warner, a Forbes 30 under 30 honouree, is a proven game changer in the industry. After becoming CEO of GAY TIMES at the age of 24, Tag has overseen some impressive changes within the company and overcome some ‘healthy scepticism' at the start of his tenure. His considered and forward-thinking approach to elevating the brand, and collaborations with LGBTQ+ people that he continues to listen to and learn from, has made GAY TIMES one of the most trusted and recognised queer media companies in the world. A self-described introvert, Tag's diary is usually flooded with meetings, travelling, press events and so on, which Tag admits keeps him in a steady state of 'performance mode'. In this episode we discuss what makes Tag so highly motivated, how essential alone time is to reset, and whether people even recognise you when you're not going full steam ahead.
