Newly Hired Editor of "Gay Times" Magazine Gets INSTANTLY Taken Down By His Old Tweets, Nate Dogg Style
Buzzfeed – Decades of white-run, white-owned, monocultural LGBT magazines came to an end last month. Gay Times, Britain’s oldest gay title, made an announcement: Its new editor would be Josh Rivers, who, as a mixed-race British-American, is the UK’s first BAME editor of a gay men’s magazine.
The news was greeted ecstatically, not least because Gay Times, founded in 1984, attributed the appointment to a desire to “best serve the magazine’s diverse and culturally inquisitive audience.” Rivers, 31, promised “a monthly journal that speaks to the vast and varied lived experiences of our community – in its entirety.”
This, many hoped, could mark a new beginning of inclusivity, where sexual racism, body fascism, ableism, and other forms of oppression permeating gay media and beyond could be challenged. Say goodbye to the flip book of white abs and white pecs.
The news came as Edward Enninful, British Vogue’s first black editor, was preparing his first issue.

…But while researching Rivers – previously the magazine’s marketing manager – following an invitation to interview him, BuzzFeed News found several dozen tweets between 2010 and 2015 that would shock many people.
““Fucking cunting whiney cunts. Cunting whiney fucking cunts. Go change your fucking tampon & stay the fuck out of my way.””
If there’s one lesson we’ve learned in 2017, it’s this: delete your entire Twitter history. If you’ve said something even remotely offensive, 6 or 7 years ago, doesn’t matter how long, maybe you’ve completely forgotten about it, you’re a totally different person now, more mature, you’ve grown, you’ve learned, you’ve become more accepting and more empathetic towards the plight of other people. Doesn’t matter. They will come back to bite you in the ass and destroy you. There’s always gonna be a Nate Dogg lurking out there. Buzzfeed had their Nate Dogg and now the Gay Times celebrated new black editor is suspended on like, hour 2 of day 1. Lightning quick internet takedown. You hate to see it. However you also hate to see people get called fat retarded lesbian Jew cunts a little bit more.
PS,
Research: confirmed legitimate magazine.
