Andrzej:

With
Integrate[Factor[y], t]

Sin[g]^2*(2*t*Cos[g/2]^3*Sec[g]*Sin[g/2] -
   Cos[g/2]*Sec[g]*Sin[g/2]^3*Sin[2*t])*Tan[g]^2

we still have some changes.
But we can use


Integrate[y /. p : _[g] :> A[p], t] /. A[p_] -> p

(1*Sin[g]^2*Sin[2*t]*(Sin[g] - Tan[g])*Tan[g]^2)/4 +
  (1*t*Sin[g]^2*Tan[g]^2*(Sin[g] + Tan[g]))/2
