Anyone read any gay mags? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

I'm thinking of subscribing to a few. Obviously Out and Instinct are up there (they're the only ones I could think of

).

Has anyone read either of these and can tell me about them, or recommend me a different mag?

kthxbye

The Advocate. It's much more newsy than Out. Well, at least it used to be.

No but I'm interested in one too.

Although, I think I'm gonna get online version from other country...Cuz Japanese mags are kinda.......creepy

Not all of them tho

Maybe one without shirtless hairy big guy on cover would be the one

Ahem... I kinda have something to do with one... www.fullspectrummagazine.com

Nope, I can't say that I do.
But when I go to WalMart I look at all the magazines that have buff guys with no shirts. Or ones with really pretty guys, like Mario Lopez, Jimmie Johnson, among various others. :]

I subscribe to The Advocate. We get free Just Out's (pertains to Oregon GLBT community) at PFLAG so I read those too.

There is a local GLBT magazine called Outwords Inc. that I read sometimes. It's free and I usually pick up a copy when I go out to a club or sometimes I'll read it online. I don't subscribe to any though.

I think you should get a couple of issues of each of the ones you're interested in to see if you like them enough, before committing to a subscription. Can you get them in newsagents or convenience stores there, or view them at a larger library? If not, can you buy one or two back-issues (perhaps from the last few months) straight from the companies?

I read Men's health sometimes,it has hot guys...

For the sake of my family finding out, no.

And I'm not really a magazine for other subjects person, either.
