Why is there “something gay” about all–every single one–of the women’s mags? And why are they supposed to be more informative to me, simply because of my sexual orientation?

If I happen to find Motor Trend, The Economist, or some other group of publications more informative, I guess I’m not gay enough or something (or not a “modern gay man,” whatever the calibration is for that).

What a bunch of bunk, and it just assumes that there’s some automatic connection between femininity and same-sex orientation. Yeah, yeah, lots of nellie queens out there, I get that. But also a lot of us into sports, or news, or computers, or gadgets, etc.

Gay = Girl. Is this 1956?

My mom reads these women’s magazines, and I hate them with a passion.

When we’re fighting for our rights and the publishing industry is sinking, the last thing we need is more fluff publications.

To strive for inclusivity, I suppose a list for the lesbians in the audience is in order?

The gayest magazine title of them all? Wallpaper* magazine during the Tyler Brule era.

@Berry:

Just what I was thinking, though queerty is obviously a site for gay men – hence all the pictures of shirtless men.

@MARK m:

Seriously? I can’t tell whether you’re joking or not, but what the fuck?

I love (and subscribe to) Nylon and pick up Nylon Guys whenever I come across it. V Man was a great shout out, but no love for V itself? That magazine is amazing and a million times better than W!
