From jocks to swimsuits, tanks to windbreakers, Universal Gear in Chelsea has been the go-to fashion HQ for gay New Yorkers for years. But the clothing store/community hub was getting so big and buff, it had to open a second location on Ninth Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen. And you know Queerty’s spies were at the grand-opening party Friday night in Hell’s Kitchen.

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.

The most effeminate male clothing store I have ever seen. Despite having a huge underwear stock, they don’t even sell mainstream boxer briefs, which most dudes wear today. Never would buy anything from here.

@Javier: I think the whole point of the store is that if you want “mainstream” stuff you can go to Macy’s like everybody else. The purpose of Universal Gear and all the “gay” stores in NYC! weho, etc is to sell the items that aren’t mainstream. Even if it’s not for you, there are ,any who appreciate the existence of such stores.

@Christopher: *many

Yet another underwear posting, someone at Queerty is getting some serious freebies in the mail.

Century 21… They have the best selection and is very cruisy… Esp around lunch time.

I don’t want to be a body fascist, but these models must spend hours a day in the gym to look like this. Outside of “modelling” what do they do to earn a paycheck?

Thousands and thousands of ladies’ panties sized for middle aged gay men.

#4 looks great. The DJ in #7 is cute too.
Well
Yum! The two guys in the boxers are hot, especially the untanned one!

Yay, now even more gay men can look exactly the same and put me to sleep! LOL I love how @Christopher points out that this isn’t for “mainstream” men, and yet this has become exactly the “mainstream” for so many NYC gays. It’s just leaving one bubble for another one. But … as long as it makes people happy 🙂

@Mr. Enemabag Jones: it’s called injecting roids. Not natural

So much jealous bullying…

Since it’s called Hell’s Kitchen I’m assuming there are places to eat there? The poor dears…
