The Advocate's rebranding takes an artistic turn this week as news mag invites gay artist Ryan McGinley to collect his favorite queer artists.
Among the 28-year old photographer's selection, readers will find works by Marlene McCarty, Hedi Slimane, and our old friends, Jack Pierson and John Waters, whose "Gay Is Not Enough" you see above.
What links these artists, you ask? Sex. McGinley explains:
I love sex. I love talking about it and having it and then talking about having it. If I’m not talking about art, I’m talking about sex… Each artist in this portfolio has their own take on the relationship between sex and art, whether political or just, you know, sexual.
Get turned on to the aesthetic message here.
Also, you guys should relive our interviews with Waters and Pierson!

It's July not April fools! They have got to be kidding us with this shit! Why not just save money and devote each issue's cover to a picture of a naked Reichen [redundant we know] wearing a different piece from his expensive Fly Naked man jewelry collection? Or insert one of his used condoms with the monogram "LB" on it in every issue? An authentic brown blot of John Water's own anus? Or something similar but more sticky from Andrew Barebacker Seeks Same AIDS Is So Over Sullivan? A 3D photo of Advocate Man of the Year Bill Maher with Ann Coulter's pubes in his teeth? A 3D photo of Cyd Outsports Zeigler jacking off to an old picture of Ronald Reagan in a swimsuit?
