Gay Star News went live with the backing of investors
Goldman Sachs,
PricewaterhouseCoopers and National Australia Bank on 16 January 2012.

Stonewall UK Award for Publication of the Year. The editorial policy of Gay Star News is to publish pro-LGBTI media without
activism. Commonly seen advertisers on the site are:
International Fund for Animal Welfare, Direct Line insurance, Lufthansa Airways, an annual, week-long program of online discussions, articles and video events to promote LGBTI Pride around the world – particularly to those in countries facing oppression. ==References==
