Married man lover and new Genre editor Neal Boulton sums up his sexual self:
I have passed through every letter of our…acronym GLBT [gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender]…The 'B' issued me two stunning children, but I stopped at 'T' because I gotta admit, operations scare me. As for the 'L' – as a Harley rider – I am still turned on by a tough chick on a hot bike.
Perhaps 'S' should be fit in there somewhere…
In response to last week's "Genre Gets A New Look," a lady Queerty reader left us this note:
Neal Boulton is an opportunist, no, a character actor, who is ‘playing’ the gay community, so that he can claim with yet another successful magazine relaunch to his resume. The truth is that Jann Wenner was not Neal Boulton’s biggest secret, nor is the fact that he sleeps with men, it’s THE FACT that that he continues to sleep with tons of women, as he has throughout his entire marriage. I am only one of many who know. The only thing going for Neal Boulton is that he is a great lay!
Well, that's more than a lot of gays can say.
Of course, Boulton prefers to discard the labels all together. He tells us,
Can't a gay guy dig a hot chick once in awhile? Hell, can't a straight guy tap a hot boy here and there? Fuck labels–just live! Hell, I don't think the Kinsey scale has enough numbers for me.
We've got no doubt, Boulton.

I kid Neal Boulton. [/Bill Maher]
It sounds like there was an angry reader who didn't get tapped:) Too bad for him. I just looked through the New Genre and it looks terrific. 100% better than its previous look. I heard that J-Lo is co-hosting their launch party next week. Can you share with readers the location, Queerty?
I'd like to get tapped by Neal. I heard from Jennifer Lopez's peeps that she will introduce Neal at the Genre bash. The party is somewhere in Hell's Kitchen they said. Neal is going to ride up on his Harley Davidson with a certain male celebrity. Curious minds want to know……who?
He kinda looks like K.D. Lang to me, so I'd say he's been the "L" in GLBTQXWYZ.
“Tappedâ€, “J-Loâ€, “Peeps†poseur trash talk just the kind poseur Neal Boulton loves. Being some one you are not. That’s what the whole gay thing is about. Stonewall happened so that gays could openly worship straight people with money.
It is SOOOOOOO difficult to tell which of these comments are originating from Genre's publicist (can they afford one? in bankruptcy?). Give it a rest, nyboytrbl. You've been relentlessly and shamelessly flogging this "launch" party every time a Boulton/Genre post goes up. And no one cares!
No audited circulation means no advertisers (aside from panties and cheap booze). No advertisers means no magazine. Tell David Unger to give it up. He's had 4 years (4 editors, and at least 4 publishers) to remake a magazine that's been on life-support for it's entire history. Avalon never had a business plan, so it's no surprise they've failed so miserably.
But is J-lo gonna be there?!! Does anybody know?!!!
Genre can't afford a publicist, unless it's their happless title-grabbing Publisher/VP/receptionist-spanker Bill Kapfer, who couldn't generate interest in a free blowjob campaign, let alone a magazine relaunched by Boulton. When will Boulton realize that his brazen identification as EVERYTHING means he identifies as, well, nothing? As someone who has had a good long look at the new issue, all I can tell you about Boulton's unique perspective is that he likes sneakers, motorcycles and underwear models who don't fill out their boxer briefs. (Does that make him straight? Lesbian?? We remain confused, Nealy!) Oh, and then there are the entire sections he lifted from Men's Fitness. Good to see he learned something at his last job besides how to overspend on his expense account.
If posts # 2 & 3 are the best this guy's publicist can do, then this magazine is going to tank fast.
Someone just informed that that they hired this dude Len Evans at Project Publicity to help publicize this event. Doesn't rep a bunch of DJ's and shit like that?
I've just gone from not caring to actively hating this magazine.
Pretty obvious that KnowItAll and 24play are pissed off ex-employees. The paragraph for knowitall had perfect structure. Nice writing—sounds like one of those four editors and/or publishers that lost their job. Transparent they are not. Get a job. And I have no desire to ever see JLO…..
I would love to be a publicist. I have a new CD we are cutting and would be into working with someone to get it out. Sexcitystud – are you in business? I can give free copies for an event if you want.
Crossrunner – you are soooooo right. There are some bitter Genreguys out there. Who gives a shit? Boy butt is boy butt. If you don't like it – don't read it. Move on.
… I am with hisurfer here. Who cares? I mean, this "post-gay" rhetoric is oldoldold. And most people didn't really GET IT when it was around the first time — they thought it was anti-gay when it was actually trans-gay.
Also, I am offended by the idea that to be transgendered is to get surgery. What kinda backwards shit is that? There are MILLIONS of transgendered people who are not getting surgery and not interested in it either. (self included)
You are correct, SeaFlood. I dated a guy for years who never went through the operation, but continues to this day through the process of "transitioning." That is, he is always working on his body, to change it through hormones to be more of a female – the sex he strongly identifies with. Boulton was wrong.
