Just products that you’re hocking… If we’re doing a review feature we’ll put our media requests via the normal outlets. If you wish to know which ones these are please call the newsdesk.
Will you add our link to your article?
Sure we can, if it adds to the user’s experience. Broken links can be updated if you let us know about them.

Unfortunately not. Products sent to THEGAYUK.com will not be returned unless there’s been a specific agreement. You can read our review terms and conditions here.

We will also not accept any items that have been previously used for personal use.
Will you sign a disclaimer or contract?
