New York: Gay 'Zines Having Their Moment
New York magazine reports on the explosion of gay-related 'zines, crediting Amsterdam-originated and New York-published literary yet filthy Butt magazine for the current phenomenon.
I've posted links below to those I could find on the web (warning: some sites NSFW):
Butt Magazine
K48
Shoot
Artfancy
Girls Like Us
FashionFashion
Pinups
Pin-Up
R.O.M.E. (eBay listing)
Straight to Hell
When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again
They Shoot Homos Don't They?
Spank
Below, Pinups.

Hope it's for more than a "moment." Ironic how these are flourishing creatively while the mainstream gay magazines are shadows of their former selves.

I hope so too, Matthew.
It's that alternative nature I think that attracts everyone. There's also this awesome new one -- The JOSH (Journal of Sexual Homos) Mag: http://www.thejoshmag.com/

Thanks for posting this! Though not a zine, they should have included Towleroad...the best place for queer news, culture and hot men. I haven't looked at "mainstream" queer press in years, thanks to Towleroad, Butt, and some of the others here.

I don't know about "hit," but I'd like to tap the ass of the guy on the left, for sure. (LOVE the beard!)

I went on a date last year with that guy on the left. Didn't get to see him naked though, I guess I'll have to buy the next issue of Pinups to see what I was missing.
