Another Coachella (round one) has come and gone, and with it an overload of social media uploads blasting FOMO onto the touch screens of those not in attendance.
The parties, the celebrities, the looks — oh, and what’s that other thing again?
Ohh, the music. Right.
We combed through #Coachella2015 on Instagram to bring you these fine specimens:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

How did you not include photos of Jack Falahee?

Oh goody. More bigoted young people with their shirts off. It had been thirty whole minutes since the last photo spread, and I was getting worried.

99% of them white. i mean, I have nothing against white men. Being Latino, I find white men beautiful; but shit, can we please have representatives of other races too when it comes to these “hot men doing something” posts?
Jeff Yarpe
Haha look at all these haters ^
Daniel Kruse
i know. calling us ugly douchebags. so weird

Peanut butter and jealous people up in here.

@Lindoro Almaviva: It’s Coachella, not a Cinco de Mayo festival. These pics are a pretty accurate (but super gay) representation of the audience the event attracts. The guy on the right in the brauliodelray pic looks pretty Latino to me, stevegalindo and meninos.namoda too.

I know almost nothing of Coachella besides the name, but from the photos I’ve seen from various years I doubt that the culture of the event appeals to a lot of gay black men.

WOW to middle guy in pic 1.
To the PC police and the incessant whining about who is hot according to whom: judge the venue and origin of the post. Coachella is a largely white, bro-ish type of a crowd. If a Queerty hot men of FIBO or Urban Beach Week pictorial looks like this one, by all means make some noise.

@Lindoro Almaviva:
Well, that’s what Coachella is. I’ve gone a few times and there’s a sprinkling of color up in there but mostly white. Now it’s just gotten too mainstream and all about what hippie fashion look people are gonna come up with for the weekend. It’s not like it used to be but still worth the trip for the lineups.

I lived in Palm Springs the first two years of Coachella so it was easy to go. It was fun but when I see pictures of what it has become there isn’t anything there – except the music – I’d be interested in experiencing.
Tracy Pope
Just read my post and realized it reads like three disconnected thoughts. Ugh.

You know, there are some people in those photos who you can just tell are going to have a hard time letting go of their youth.
Saint Law
You look at those pix and you think why can’t I have friends like that?
Lol.

‘” Hot Mens” is that just a stupid grammatical mistake? Or was the “writer” trying to hip-rap black? No black men in the photos, no latino-asian men. As far as I could see, there were only two “mens” who didn’t look like they have shaved their chest hair to look way too boyish. Is this really what gay men find attractive in 2015?

When I look at Queerty, I see quite a few young men who remind me of my generation (I’m 56) with a couple of crucial distinctions.
Firstly, as males, we share neurology with straight men in that we are real visual sexually, that’s a given. But there’s a caveat here: The younger generation has come of age with endless visuals via the internet, porn we could have only dreamed of, 24/7 looking at guys. I was always into it, some gay guys literally are not.
But gay dudes at Coachella-that speaks for itself. It’s a music fest, right? You’d never know it from all the visuals, pop culture fashion, etc. that all the attendees revel in (I would guess gay guys are no more or no less represented). What is everybody going to do when they tire of visuals taking the place of other forms of expression (like music)?
There aren’t too many average looking men in all this. It’s great to be in shape but maybe not so hot to have everyone looking like a sex app. Kind of limited.
Mili Raki?
okay Matea MarkoviÄ? ill go

I don’t really think it’s appropriate or kind to call somebody a douchebag based on how they look…we strive to become more than a judgement and assumption yet we have no problem taking our insecurities out on others…don’t call anyone names until you actually know them
Robert Joseph Mastronardi
The use of ‘Mens’ is incorrect, due to the plural of ‘Man’ being ‘Men’. Queerty, you need to seriously consider reviewing over some of your contributor’s English skills. If you want to be taken seriously, stop using slang and stop touting muscled naked men in your headlines. Don’t you think we get enough of that in our community?

I’m jealous… of the weather. California Dreams.

@Robert Joseph Mastronardi: “…stop touting muscled naked men in your headlines. Don’t you think we get enough of that in our community?”
Well, no. Where I live most of the community are overweight verging on obese, having let themselves go. Where do you live where you get tired of muscled men? I;m asking because I want to move there.
And I agree it is not “mens.” It is “menz.” People shouldn’t use slang if they aren’t going to get it right.

I don’t see any hot guys in these photos … the one thing I do see is guys who look like they are having fun, so I’ll give them that.
Coachella is a much more diverse crowd than this though, and I don’t necessarily mean racially. These guys all look the same.
Big boys like to dance too … just sayin’ …
