Gay Divorcees
There are two really funny "gay" pieces in this month's Details magazine, whose focus on homosexuals of late is singlehandedly challenging the need for specifically gay-oriented publications. One piece notes the "gay" look of the Democratic front-runner, and the other is a hilarious look at why "Gay Men Definitely Shouldn't Get Married." Two dire predictions:
"Chelsea, West L.A., South Beach crammed with Auschwitz-thin chain-smoking Yorkie-in-the-handbag gay divorcees d'un certain age, swilling Chardonnay while desperately competing for the very, very few well-heeled silver-haired stud muffins who might want to chaperone them through the golden portals of, um, maturity."
"Gay marriage, currently a middle-to-upper-middle-class thing, trickles down society, creating trailer parks where 90 percent of the occupants are either blousy castoff lesbian wives in dirty pink muumuus watching tapes of Ellen or scrofulous castoff gay husbands who live off Bud and whatever they can lap up at the truck-stop glory hole."

Funny. I was thinking just this morning of asking you if Details is the new gay mag. And there were several gay references in other articles, as well.

Details was very gay in its early days, even as late as like '91, but then it butched it up in prescient anticipation of magazines like Maxim et al.
