One of you clever readers started a rumor that Genre is closing its doors. Actually, the rumor is that those doors have already closed. Gawker talked to Neal Boulton, we spoke with publisher Bill Kapfer and both deny said rumors. Kapfer even boasted:
We just put to sleep our special double cover fashion and fitness issue.
The issue is rich with incredible editorial lifestyle coverage and is balanced with a great slate of advertisers — from Delta Air Lines to John Bartlett
The double cover is a first in our category- and truly shows off Neal Boulton’s talent as a visionary.
With our latest ABC audit statement showing another 25% increase in audited subscriptions, things are going extremely well for Genre. I feel very fortunate to have moved into the enviable position of working with an editor that has both a creative and business approach to publishing.
Thank the gay gods!

In the mag world, combining two months into one “double cover” issue is never a good thing. It means that the guys at Genre were either too busy at the strip club to produce enough material or, more likely, that the “great slate” of advertisers isn’t actually great enough to pay for two issues’ worth of pages.
hells kitchen guy
“Double cover” meant two alternate newsstand covers, I think: actually, that means they have lots of money – not a “double issue.”
I think.

Check out the violent shit Boulton aka BOLZ is writing on Gawker.

I think boulton’s comments are supposed to be tongue in cheek.
Jesus christ, everything’s so fucking VIRTUAL these days …

No. I know the guy. He’s a violent fuck. He loves (looking for) a fight. Dudes menacing.
DCchick
Why are people picking on Genre again? How about planet oiut and their company’s bleeding tens of millions? How about all the layoffs? Now that is where we need our attention.
zoeywashdc
He IS violent. But it came in handy anytime another guy would hasle me. He’d step up. Nice. Cocain of course helped him there.
girlswhoknow
You people are cruel. The guy is the most sensuous lover I have ever encountered. He stands by you – and up for you. What more can a girl ask for. I’ve seen him throw a punch or two but they were deserved and kind of hot to watdh. Bottom line, I’ve never cum so many times in my life either. If only he weren’t so addicted to his career all would have been just fine. His loss.
soooobusted
Uh. Has anyone every counted the number of rehabs he’s secretly been to? It explains a hell of alot. Twice in this year alone!
Joplin
Why are we giving Genre a hard time again? What about Planet Out and the many cool cats who have lost their jobs because the company is bleedings tens of millions – and is for sale?? Planet out let’s us all down and their story of demise seems so covered up?
soooobusted
Well, Joplin, it’s a hell of a lot more fun skewering Neal Boulton. He walks around like he owns the place, gets any boy or girl he wants, has a teflon deal with his wife, has two bio kids, slides in and out of rehabs without anyone noticing, and makes tons of money. I’d say he makes a much better target.
babeswhocare
Why attack Neal Boulton. And so what if he’s done some rehab time. So what if he’s ambitious. So what if he has an air about him. He deserves to….he’s hot. He can write, play the guitar, act, sing, and rides a hot motorcycle. If you don’t see the sexiness in that then you should de-list your ass from this site. I stand by him.

Douche Buster sounds like a real magazine professional. I guess that is why he is on Queerty?

I for one, can’t wait until my Genre subscription runs out. It’s wasted tree to me now. What little substance it had has evaporated, the amount of content is crepe-thin, and its editorial values have become pedestrian, shallow and poseur-ey fake.
This all isn’t necessarily because Neal is a huge douchebag, it’s because he’s not a particularly competent editor.
soooobusted
MOTARD – I could not agree with you more. I actually don’t hate the new Genre since he took over, but I hate HIM. He’s loud, always yacking on the phone with his agent, zipping off to LA and Miami, and somehow cons cute girls and boys to hang on his arm. He does not set a good example for the gay community! HE’S NOT EVEN FUCKING GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jarvisbearcub
What’s wrong with the cover model? Did he swallow a teenaged mutant ninja turtle? THAT’S NOT HOT
alex
I’m with Motard.
I used to like Genre. Now, however, it is a waste of paper. Since Boulton became editor, it has slipped into the abyss of perpetual fluff. What disturbs me most is their increased coverage of gay porn. While I have no problem with porn (trust me on that one!), I don’t think it belongs in Genre. I can’t help but wonder if this is a function of Boulton being straight. Perhaps he believes the myth that all we want is naked men in our publications.
Compare Genre with Instinct magazine, the original all-fluff magazine. Instinct sure has come a long way. Over the past year, they have featured some beautiful cover men. Virtually all of those guys, however, have had stories to tell. The original JP Calderone “coming out” interview was particularly well done.
hells kitchen guy
Instinct is ultra shallow but just when I’m ready to write it off, they have an article about life for a gay dwarf, a deaf gay man, an old gay guy, an illegal immigrant gay guy … and suddenly, it’s like, Wow! They really, really get it!!
soooobusted
DAVID UNGER,
WE DEMAND YOU FIRE YOUR VERY OWN MIRANDA PRIESTLY!
Jarvisbearcub, that model is a straight man, and only ‘playing’ gay, like Neal Boulton who is ONLY a business man, and a sell out, NOT a visionary, as publisher Bill Kapfer (who wil say anything to anyone to get his way) proclaims. If the Devil Wears Prada were about a man, NEAL BOULTON would have been its Miranda Priestly. (see the movie again girls – I am 100% right). Just ask all of the 30-some people he has coldly fired or intimidated to “leave” their jobs while he cashed in raise after raise and promotion after promotion.
Athleticnyc
Alex and Motard – I am not sure if you are “retards” but canceling a subscription also stops your from receiving the magazine and from killing trees. I read all my mags online. What a waste of time for you to be such bitter queens. Get a life.
GradforDad
I was an intern at GENRE and I have hung out with many of the guys that quit from over the last couple years. (No I am not one of the interns who dated Chris C. Chris is the only guy who I heard got replaced. The other guys quit – and in the entire history of the company I know they’ve never had 30 employees. OUT is the bigger publication with more employees, Sooooobuted. I LOVE Devil Wears Prada – everyone should see that movie. Meryl Streep said she only played the role of Miranda because of that one scene in Paris where she is able to show her vulnerability when she finds out her husband is leaving her. Her eyes were puffy and she had not make up. What a scene.
gadfly
Hey Hellkitchen: Great comment about Instinct, unlike you who might be able to relate to people like yourself: “life for a gay dwarf, a deaf gay man, an old gay guy, an illegal immigrant gay guy” I can only related to the fashion and glam of OUT or the sophistication of Advocate.
soooobusted
GRADFORDAD – I am talking about those 30 or more people he has COLDLY FIRED (like ME) from the many other magazines he has done. It’s his trademark. Giant smile, sharp axe, lots of pink slips. EVERYBODY WHO KNOWS HIM knows that his favorite movie was Wall Street because unlike the rest of the sane world he looked UP to Gordon Gekko as a hero.
Gradfordad
Oh, sorry Soooobusted. I did not know that you had worked for him at another magazine. GENRE is his first gay magazine – does this mean that you worked at a straight magazine? You had mentioned that you did not hate GENRE so you must read it?
Why would you know his boss David Unger if you worked at another magazine and was fired by Boulton? Was Unger part of the magazine you worked for that you were fired from?
I do not think it would be cool if he was firing other gays from straight mags. We gays (or faux gays) need to watch each other’s backs. As it appears that some of those mags that he took over did well for his bosses—after his cleaning of house – which one of those he worked for was not as successful without “you?”
I am sure that this new gig does not pay as much as those other jobs – what do you feel he is in this Gay mag scene for, as you stated that he is only interested in promotion after promotion? Do you truly see GENRE as a step up from his previous jobs with the big names?
GENRE is OK but NO Men’s Fitness or Men’s Health – whatever, those magazines reach millions!
soooobusted
GRADFORDAD You are obviously one of the brainwashed, do-anything-for-Neal types. If so, I’ll be he fires you, too one day. Good luck.
Matilda
Wait – why on earth would any magazine combine their fitness and fashion issue – especially a gay magazine that could easily fill two issues with those subjects. Sounds like the publisher is full of crap. Isn’t this the same team who lied about their last cover models being gay? I don’t believe a word from anyone at Genre.
soooobusted
Oh, that was probably MIRANDA’S idea. She’s obsessed with fitness. See Tyler Gray’s account of Neal’s fashion sense on Gawker. “MIRANDA” BOULTON’S fitness magazines were rated the worst by a national not for profit review board of fitness. The only thing he does well is sit in fashion shows, jet set around, and let the idiots who adore him hang all over him.
hells kitchen guy
GrandForDad: Maybe, just maybe, he took the Genre gig because he couldn’t find anything else, even though it was a major step down paywise and prestige-wise.

HELLSKITCHENGUY – So true. He’s washed up. Your logic could not be MORE accurate. A hasbeen.

Dear Queerty Readers,
What an interesting food fight today has been. Please know that Genre appreciates every one’s comments. The good and the nasty. The Internet is an amazing forum in which to vent any and all outbursts of intelligence or stupidity that relieves the soul and the mind. Life is as ugly and is it beautiful and therefore worth a bloody battle of words followed by a lovely kiss of reconciliation. Genre aims to bridge all of the gaps abandoned by our predecessors in gay publishings. We are on our way and appreciate all of the attention every one’s comments lend us. Thank you to all of you. I am not perfect – never advertised that I was, and will never shy away from any claim (ok, nearly any claim, Andrew). Best to all and thank you again for your interest in Genre!
Motard
Athleticnyc – Having magazines in the home, a select few mind you, serve functions online mags can’t. Friends can rifle through them when they visit.
I’m hardly claiming eco-friendlier-than-thou logic. Online or not, the unfortunate fact is that the diminution of the magazine’s already marginal quality is palpable, or in this case, pulpable.

NEAL BOULTON’s HIGH PAID LA-BASED “ROGERS AND COWAN” PUBLICITY TEAM HEADS UP CAMP-BOULTON’S DAMAGE CONTROL EFFORT:
“Greetings GAWKERS,
This is Neal T. Boulton, the Editor In Chief of Genre. The person who is logged in as Bolz is clever, but, NOT ME. I admire all of the jabs and humor around my recent press and, frankly, find all of everyone’s tongue-in-cheek comments all warranted. Genre is a magazine that is going strong though–and going to be stonger. As the Editor In Chief, yes, I am not the cookie cutter mold of GAY America, but like any guy, I’ve got my war stories and reputations and plenty of secrets. I’ve learned alot from my years and I have no appologies. Frankly, I try to bring everything I’ve lived through – yes there have been some rehabs and broken relationships, and some not so great moments publicly – to all of the magazines I have relaunched. I am sorry if the comments of the person who stepped in as “me” offended anyone. Hence forth, bring on the jabs–god knows I deserve all of them, because, I ain’t been perfect, and I never plan to be going forward. But I do wish everyone, including those who have ever worked for me or the companies I have lead, ONLY THE BEST.”

Hey Sooooooo – Thanks for sharing that information – it made for great reading. after you read about Boulton – you should read about the sales team who left Genre – the team who claim Boulton drove them away was actually recruited by their old boss — the same boss they couldn’t stop talking shit about every time they were at the G Bar with the girls…they are now selling brochures — from one hell to another — life is strange.

Truly, absolutely truly, the only reason I came to Queerty is that ever since high rents forced me out of Manhattan I have missed having intelligent, witty gay people to chat with. I have a couple of email pals who I suspect I have worn out with my daily rants. One recently disappeared in a puff of silence. And also my ex-lover, a Manhattan banker, told me that I had to check out Queerty (I think he follows Perez more closely, though). I wrote a lot of stuff over the years, including books, mainly to support myself and lovers. And while I’m proud of a lot of them (forget the Six Million Dollar Man novelizations), none of my books is of the slightest interest to anyone with a Queerty temperament. They’re romance novels with a Queerty authenticity level and a presumptive audience of older flyover state people plus a core of NYC exiles. Like the William Hurt character in the Big Chill, of course one of my favorite movies, I have a small, deeply disturbed following, like Queerty. There are some other simiarities between me and those who follow Queerty though not, I’m occasionally glad to be grateful about, all. Anyway, I’m finished writing books. I’ve done enough now to quality for a two-column obit in The Times (you can email me in hell if I’m wrong). And I don’t get royalties to speak of. Keep up the mindless banter that contributes nothing to anyone’s lives, promote yourselves, do not get over grudges and continue to be negative and have no lives – it offers great interest to we older folks who just love to laugh at the silliness of the younger generation who can’t seem to move on and focus on more important things. Bitterness will eat you up. It will make your colon die and you will have to have a bag on your side for the rest of your life. I wish only the best for the entire universe.

Soooobusted: You had written: RE-HIRE CHRIS, MOK, AND MARK….AND AT LEAST WERE GAY!! I am sure that the woman Mark lives with and considers his girlfriend and life partner, would not consider him GAY. You should check your facts.
SexintheCity
Alex & Sooo: I really must agree with HKG, I truly enjoyed Mark’s writing at Genre – he was one of the main editor who wrote a large percentage of the magazine each month. Although he was straight, many of us did not feel it impacted the quality of his editorial contributions to his audience. Did you think so? Are we becoming heterophobic? Is that even a word?
Heterophobia is a term I have heard in the drag world. It was once used to describe prejudice or discrimination against heterosexuals, particularly among homosexual or bisexual people; although, depending on one’s views, it is also possible for a heterosexual to be heterophobic—that is just too much to comprehend.
The term does not have much currency outside the field of sexology & mental illness (which certainly speaks to many of those who comment on this site).
LGBT equality measures often see themselves as having rational and morality-based reasons for disagreeing with particular LGBT positions, while the other side may accuse them of taking the ‘homophobic’ position. They may see the word ‘homophobic’ as an ad hominem attack and in response, they demonstrate a dislike for anything considered straight. In today’s communities, most of the LGBT population has embraced the heterosexual community, but it seems that a few of Queerty’s readers continue to hold hostility towards straight writers, straight entertainers and those straight contributors to the arts.
This is very sad and really sends a bad message to our community. Internal splintering is so unhealthy and unproductive.
TOO OLD TO BE DOING THIS
I was reading Genre before most you young things were even born. I had no idea that much of what I was reading was written by a straight man. All I know is that I still enjoy reading Genre and would like extend a thank you to Mr. Boulton for continuing to make that possible for me. You boys out there ought to use better manners and a little more of Aretha’s r-e-s-p-e-c-t! when you attack people here like you do. This may well be a gay website but the straight people on the world wide web who read it would be appalled at how mean you are to each other.
hells kitchen guy
SexInTheCity: I agree about heterophobia. Makes me ill. But as someone said, a magazine about gay men specifically should probably be edited by a gay man. Problem with Boulton is that he doesn’t seem to know what he is. If there were a straight man who was completely comfortable with his sexuality and was digging the gay scene, he’d probably be a cool editor with a fresh perspective.
Bastard Step Child
Ya know….this is just borderline sad…
The main reason why nothing bad is written about Out/PlanetOut is that the editor has written for them in teh past and probably continues to do so (I haven’t read Out in ages so I can’t talk about his current status). Also, he’s a former HX employee who watned to write for the mag but whose work was considered so pathetic that they decided to not let him do it anymore.
Quite frankly, knowing Neal like I do, he doesn’t give a rats ass. The more you talk about him, the more attention you draw to him and to the magazine. The more you keep him in the spotlight, the better for everyone. He’s not drawing attention to himself, you’re doing it for him.
Hugs and kisses….
SexintheCity
Hey HellsKitchen – I knew Mark when he worked at HX and was saying he was Gay then Bi now lives with a woman. At least Boulton came out and keeps saying he is gay (be it or not). Mark had a great eye, but it was just as jaundice as Boulton – as it pertained to sexual identity.
Paul Raposo
SexintheCity, the fact that you clearly suck up tp hets while denouncing other LGBTQ’s says more about you, than anything written by anyone here. You’re welcome to be a house-faggot for straight people, but I will always believe that a gay mag should be run by gay people; gay stories should be written by gay people; gay housing developments should be exlusively for gay people; and hell, even gay porn should be made by and star–wait for it–gay people.
Hiring straight people to run our shit sends a message to the LGBTQ community that we’re too stupid to handle our own business. And as long as hets continue to stick their nose in our business our own kind will never have a chance to build experience and grow in our accomplishments. We’re noting but a rung on the ladder to those people and I refuse to be their stepping stone
SexintheCity
Paul: I hear you and respect what you are saying. That is why I am surprised that bloggers are made at a guy who is admittedly gay, Boulton – when he works for Genre but when they had a self proclaimed straight guy writing the major articles, no one seemed to care. I agree with you that I would want someone speaking to me as a gay guy to be a gay writer – we are on the same side.
Paul Raposo
” guy who is admittedly gay, Boulton”
I’m sorry, SexintheCity, but I haven’t seen any evidence that Boulton is gay, except for his own. No one saw him kissing Jann Werner, it was his word. Boulton’s just a parasite and is the epitomy of gay-for-pay and he’s using gay people to get over.
As far as Mark Whatshisname, Chris Chiampi kept him well closeted while that het wrote articles telling gay people how to live our lives.
hells kitchen guy
SexInTheCity: But the whole reason why all this got started was because Boulton was in a titty bar getting off on GIRLS. GIRLS with PUSSIES. That does NOT sound like an “out gay man” to me. Frankly, I don’t care where he sticks his doodle, but don’t tell me a guy who is married, and a father, and lives with his wife, and gets off going to strip joints IS GAY, oookaaaay?
And to Paul Raposo: Don’t agree. There have been gay men working at magazines like Maxim. If what you say is true, they shouldn’t be there. We’re a big tent: LGBT. The “B” means something. Deal with it.
& I’ve met some totally straight men who are much more hip to the gay scene than a hell of sour gay men.
hells kitchen guy
I should add that I’m a card-carrying fag but I know a beautiful woman when I see one – and appreciate her and even – yes – sometimes even get turned by her (depending on method of mental lubrication). But unlike Boulton, I’m firmly on one side of the fence.
Paul Raposo
“There have been gay men working at magazines like Maxim”
Such as? Name one straight men’s magazine that has an out gay man as it’s editor.
“We’re a big tent: LGBT. The “B” means something. Deal with it.”
Boulton and Mark Whatshisname are neither bi, nor gay. Yet they edited a gay publication. So, what was your point again?
“I’ve met some totally straight men who are much more hip to the gay scene”
Because they make their money as the gay-for-pay whores that they are. So of course they’ll be “hip” to the gay community and tell people like you exactly what you want to hear. The only time straight people pretend to give a shit about us is when they think they can make some money off of us, like Boulton and his sudden gay conversion; or they figure they can use us, like Obama and Clinton looking for our votes.
What a disgrace
It’s so obvious that most of the people who write here either work(ed) on HX, Genre or any of the Window Media magazines. All the comments made about a boycott are pretty pathetic. Instead of bitching about whether or not Boulton is Gay, why not make suggestion and tell the editors whatever it is that’s missing in Genre Magazine??? Aren’t there enough issues in our community that really need to be addressed and are not by any of the so called Gay publications??? This forum should be about that.
Instead, all you losers do is talk crap about this prick Neal Boulton. WHO CARES ABOUT HIM ANY WAY???
What I will say is that it is obviously apparent that Genre is looking its best EVER. The only thing I hate is that they do not have real, deep stories about gay men.
This is what we should be demanding people, get it right!!!!
hells kitchen guy
Paul: It’s obvious you don’t go out dancing, or to Fire Island, or volunteer for charity events or belong on boards of gay organizations. If you were, you’d meet straight men who actually genuinely like and understand gay men and the gay scene.
Paul Raposo
“you don’t go out dancing”
I don’t.
“or to Fire Island”
I live in Canada
“or volunteer for charity events”
I do.
“belong on boards of gay organizations”
I don’t.
“you’d meet straight men who actually genuinely like and understand gay men and the gay scene.”
And if I did meet those men I’d have to ask myself, “Why are they here?”
If they hang around gay bars, it’s probably because they think it’ll be easy to pick up women.
If they go to Fire Island, why as straight men, are they be hanging around the cruisiest place on earth? Either they’re not striaght, or again, they think it’s an easy way to score with women.
If they’re volunteering for gay charity events, are they doing it out of genuine concern, or because they figure we’re in such desperate need of straight people to “support” us, that they bless us with their magnificent white, liberal, heterosexual presence?
As far as being on boards of gay charities, as one het told me years ago when I asked why he was working at a gay charity, “I was a little fish at The Canadian Cancer Society. Here I’m a fucking super star–probably because I’m cute and all the gayboys have crushes on me. Plus, the money is better here.” Then he proceeded to request a cup of coffee in a stupid sing-songy voice from a gay who got wet everytime a straight man so much as looked at him.
hells kitchen guy
Straight men go to Fire Island for the same reason straight families and gay people do: it’s beautiful and peaceful and an hour from NYC.
Straight men go to gay bars because they find the music better, the crowd more interesting and no fighting (read Dennis Rodman’s autobiography).
And knowing one straight man who uses his looks to get things out of gay men doesn’t make it true for all of them. (not to mention -horrors – that any GAY man ever does the same to his peers)
I feel sorry for you. You have a lot of anger. My tent is big. You live in a small world.
Paul Raposo
“Straight men go to gay bars because they find the music better, the crowd more interesting and no fighting”
Obviously you’ve never seen a het start shit because a gay man hit on him, while he was there looking for women. Or you did and ignored it.
“And knowing one straight man who uses his looks to get things out of gay men doesn’t make it true for all of them.”
It doesn’t make it a lie, either. That was merely one example. Examples of this are legion.
“I feel sorry for you.”
Don’t; I don’t feel sorry for you.
“You have a lot of anger.”
With merit.
“My tent is big.”
And it’s on the verge of calapsing.
“You live in a small world.”
I live in the real world. Feel free to visit some time.
Ritzy Cracker
No one who left Genre either willingly or unwillingly was ever dismissed because of sexual orientation–unlike the fate befalling certain individuals at straight magazines–namely Neal Boulton. Sounds like most of his detractors writing on this blog don’t even know Neal. If you did know him, it might be because you had shown yourself friendly; as the Bible says, “If you want a friend, you should show yourself friendly.” Neal Boulton is one of the warmest, most solicitous editors and persons I’ve ever met! And he has feelings like everyone else; too bad he was forced to react to them in the public eye lst year and since with all you third party undeclared sources gabbing your laughable inaccuracies to the shit gossips. This NY fag crowd is a pack of spiteful bitches making fools out of yourselves every time you talk to Jossip or whatever the hell site I’m on….
