*> 1. My all time favorite:
*> IN TOUCH FOR MEN --- a high-class periodical with a
*> highly refined sense of humor, and
*> a lot of fantastic looking men (of
*> just about all gendres) each month.
Funny, but I thought men only came in one gender! ;-}
The *IT* editors seem to like athletes (particularly swimmers
and gymnasts) a *lot*. Sounds OK to me!
*> 2. Definitely worth looking into:
Perhaps *the* most popular gay magazine which *isn't* into
male models should be listed here: CHRISTOPHER STREET.
They have excellent fiction (Andrew Holleran has a regular
column, and other "classic" gay writers such as Ed White
regularly offer features). Also has a very good discussion
of current gay issues, witty cartoons, "Nicole Hollander x 4"
(Sylvia is a laugh *riot* sometimes), and (recently) hot
covers . . .(although the one during the summer with the
guy bent over an automobile in his jockey shorts wasn't
so appealing...)
*> 4. Chicken delight:
*> STARS --- No boy over 20 gets between these
*> pages. . . .
You hit the nail on on the head here!

Not be forgotten is "Gay Community News", a Boston-based weekly newspaper
which provides national coverage of lesbian and gay events and news
stories. It is, probably somewhat predictably, editorially left of center
on many issues, but without compromise in its coverage of important topics.
This week's issue, Oct 13, contains articles on the sentencing of the three
Bangor ME youths convicted of manslaughter in the death of a gay man, the
upcoming Supreme Court test of the Oklahoma "Helms Law", the Massachusetts
Supreme Court's hearing of the case of the Christian Science Monitor versus
a lesbian reporter who was fired when her sexual preference was revealed.
Nor does the paper deal only in hard news: this week's cover story is an
interview with a lesbian, latin painter whose acrylics of female nudes have
been attracting favorable critical attention. Accompanying it, on the cover,
is a priceless quote from the Boston Globe's review of her work:
"The originality award went to Ana Leon's 'Ageless Secrets,'
a quartet of huge acrylic rectangles filled with gaint, hazy
curves -- blown-up segments of a women's body, fitting together
voluptously. The two breasts face each other in profile and pose
a visual dilemma: unless this is some kind of Cubist distortion,
they can't belong to the same body, yet they seem too close together
to belong to different women."
(I know that had nothing to do with GCN the newspaper, but I couldn't resist!)
A subscription is $29/year, mailed in a discreet brown envelope for those
with postmen with "Enquiring Minds." GCN is published by a non-profit
organization, and contributions over the subscription amount are always
welcome.
Its address is: GCN / 167 Tremont St., 5th floor / Boston MA 02111
I have no official connection with GCN, other than being a subscriber, and
most recently, volunteering my time as an advisor on computers.
