Neal Boulton is the editor of Genre, the gay men's magazine, and something called BastardLife.com, a bisexual men's web magazine. Clearly the man has a thing for mixing media and gender identity, as the various "anonymously sourced" items about Boulton's NYC sexing — which reek of having been planted by Boulton himself — also suggest, as does his former editorship of Men's Fitess, which is basically a magazine for straight guys to ogle other guys. Not terribly surprising, then, that his on-and-off (and back on) partner for the last 16 years, Claire, used their sometimes open relationship to sometimes enjoy the company of other women while her husband was off dabbling with homos. And now, like The Pregnant Man, they're on a road to sharing their story with the world. Read on, America, for the next great chapter of the GLBT movement.

Ugh, this is why those magazines are so boring now. Great, now Genre will be loaded with defensive articles about bisexuals and how everbody is really bisexual and that bisexuals are more eveolved because they look at the person inside blah blah blah. Ugh, time to cancel that subscription and renew GT and instinct.
this type of bisex docudramady defines the difference between a queer life which is something ive got & a queer lifestyle which is what they have & him in porn omigawd i think im going to be a little sick right now in the back of my mouth
It's an interesting question as to whether or not the editor of a gay magazine should be gay. By the way, you misspelled "fitness".
'biggest blow to bisexuals ever,' jah right mon – that doesn't even make sense to me as a joke… in your heart of hearts, do you *really* give a toss what some flaky magazine editor does?
Does the editor of a straight magazine need to be straight? Teachers of our children need to be straight, news anchors need to be straight? Of course not. I am sure Anita B would love to argue otherwise – but the answer really is, who cares. The best qualified man or woman should hold any position they want.
@Cam: Maybe it's refreshing to have any kind of bisexual visibility at all? Just reading it in the title of this post gave me a little thrill.
You sound like you have some beef to work out.
blah blah blah and blahity blah!
I cancelled my Genre subscription soon after Boulton became editor. I don't care if the guy is gay, straight, bi, or asexual; but, I do care about how he screwed up the magazine. What used to be a decent publication suddenly turned into porn-central. Boulton seems obsessed with porn, injecting it into nearly ever issue of Genre. It's clear that he seems to believe that the only thing of importance to gay men is sex. That one-dimensional view of us is idiot, in my opinion.
The other issue I have with Genre is that is seems too cosy with its advertisers. The most recent issue is a prime example. One of the advertisers is the Pineapple Point Guest House here in Fort Lauderdale. This place is featured twice in the magazine. First, it has a full page article about clothing optional resorts (and how sex happens there…because we only care about sex, right?) Second, it is listed as one of the "Fittest Hotels in America". While the place does have a gym, I think it's absolutely crazy to put it in that category.
(For the record, I have nothing against Pineapple Point. I highly doubt they had anything to do with the article. In fact, I recommend all you Northerns to come visit us in Fort Lauderdale this winter when you need to feel what it's like to walk outside in shorts!)
Does anybody really think that an openly gay man would be hired to edit a magzine pertaining to the hetero lifestyle? Or to lesbians? Hell, no. How could a non-openly-gay man have any idea what gay men are interested in reading about? And in fact, Neal Boulton is neither bi nor gay. he is a str8. he was str8 when he edited Men's Fitness and he's still str8. And that is why Genre sucks like a Hoover now.
Another 'gay' mag that I wont be buying
I refuse to financially support closet cases or whatever he is ….
is anyone else creeped out by that photo? The dog needs two humans to be restrained, the children are hiding, and she is sitting so rigid and tense that I'm not quite convinced she's not a lifesized cardboard photo of a "wife".
Alex sounds too fat and ugly to go to Pineapple Point – I can understand why he does not like the venue. I love reading about hot places to stay and having a magazine showcase them is all the better.
@FloridaSurfer:
Your guesses about me are wrong. But, by all means, buy Genre magazine. I never said it didn't have an audience. I simply stated my opinion. If you want vapid, fake articles about sex then, by all means, support the magazine. Hopefully some day you might grow up and realize that there is far more to life than half naked men.
Are all bisexuals are hot and sexy? I got to prove this on http://bimatching.com. Also from some bisexual stars.
