  • Capital Gay was a weekly free gay newspaper published in London founded by and . The first issue was published on 26 June 1981, during Pride Week, and folded with the issue dated 30 June 1995. Despite its name it was also distributed in Brighton and had a combined circulation, in the two cities, of around 20,000 at the time when publication ceased. McKerrow and Mason met while working at Gay News and designed Capital Gay as a complementary publication. Capital Gay had a shorter production time, 24 hours, and came out more frequently, every week, compared with Gay News which was fortnightly. The aim was to provide a news service for London and Brighton particularly for users of the growing commercial lesbian and gay scene and to provide a link between the political movement and the commercial scene and facilitate swifter political responses by the LGBT movement than had previously been possible. The news pages covered politics and non-political news while regular contributors provided comment and analysis. Capital Gay sponsored the London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard and involved itself in events in the wider gay community in London; its editorial line tended to be strong. It is credited by the Oxford English Dictionary with being the first publication in the world to use the term HIV, (the second being the international science journal Nature), with the first regular column on AIDS in the world being written in Capital Gay by in 1984. For some years, with no reliable information on the threat of AIDS publicly available in the medical or national press, Capital Gay widened its distribution to cover cities with large gay populations including Manchester and Brighton. Copies were sent by rail and distributed to local clubs, bars and hotels by volunteers. During the controversy over Section 28 in December 1987, the paper's offices were targeted in an arson attack. After being accused by Labour MP Tony Banks of legitimising the incident, Conservative Member of Parliament Dame Elaine Kellett-Bowman was quoted in Hansard as saying: "I am quite prepared to affirm that it is quite right that there should be an intolerance of evil."

  • Capital Gay era um jornal semanário gratuito gay, publicado em Londres fundado por Graham McKerrow e . A primeira publicação foi a 26 de Junho de 1981, durante a semana do Orgulho Gay, e fechou com a última publicação a 30 de Junho de 1995. Apesar do seu nome também era distribuído em Brighton e tinha uma circulação conjunta, nas duas cidades, de cerca de 20,000 na época em que publicação terminou. Capital Gay patrocinava o quadro de Lésbicas e Gays de Londres e envolveu-se em eventos junto da comunidade gay em Londres; o seu editorial tinha tendência a ser forte. Era patrocinado pelo Oxford English Dictionary sendo a primeira publicação no mundo a usar o termo HIV (o segundo foi a revista internacional científica Nature), com a primeira coluna regular sobre o Sida no mundo sendo escrita no Capital Gay por Julian Meldrum em 1982. Durante alguns anos, sem fontes confiáveis para informação sobre o tratamento do HIV publicamente disponível na imprensa médica e nacional, Capital Gay alargou a sua distribuição para cidades com grandes populações gay incluindo Manchester e Brighton. As cópias eram enviadas por comboio e distribuídas em clubes locais, bares e hóteis por voluntários. Durante a controvérsia sobre a Secção 28 em Dezembro de 1987, os escritórios do jornal foram alvos de um incêndio. Depois de sere acusado por Tony Banks de legitimar o acidente, o membro conservador do parlamento, Elaine Kellett-Bowman disse no : "Eu estou preparada para afirmar que é certo que tem de existir uma intolerância para o mal".
