OutUK was first launched in 1999 to provide the UK and European gay community with an alternative to
existing gay information and entertainment websites, many of which are anglicised versions
of sites from other countries. With a passion to encourage quality writing, our aim is to provide stimulating
coverage of the issues that affect gay men in the UK and Europe, together with entertainment and advice from a
uniquely gay perspective.

the National Film Theatre on London's South Bank. For both festivals and their UK wide tours that followed OutUK
produced the official LLGFF website on behalf of the BFI.
