Pros: Great articles, made for young gays Cons: Lacking Diversity
The original version of this review, written in late 1999, was my first Epinions review. It also was my only moment of "outing" on the site, unless of course you count my obsession with Angela Lansbury as more than a bit suspicious. I am...
Pros: The Only Magazine Geared Towards Gay Youth, Some Great Resources Cons: I just wish that it could be so much more...
XY is one of the few gay magazines that I am fairly ambivalent on when it comes to whether I like it or not Perhaps it is because XY aspires to be many things, but rarely reaches those heights. Maybe it is because it bothers me to see a ...
Pros: resource for queers, colorful pages, good points in some articles, and oh yeah, boiz! Cons: could be more, settles for photos of jailbait, rants, and which heartthrob might be gay
I feel this magazine is important to review because it was the first one I read that was targeted at young gays. One look at the nearly-naked, golden-skinned, grinning stud boi on its cover gave me the courage to buy it (at the time I hadn't found m ...
Pros: glossy cover Cons: objectification of young gay men
I have been out since I was in high school. One of my gay male friends showed me a copy of XY and I thought it was great. It had plenty of cute men. It had some stories, but mostly it was filled with pictures of half naked young men.
Pros: Pretty, skinny white boys grace the covers and inside of this magazine. Cons: XY tells homosexuals that you have to be pretty, white, and underage to matter.
A Northern California native, I moved to Southern California at age 19 as a confident yet timid gay youth. After a bout of loneliness, I became submerged in the trendy young gay crowd of San Diego. And this is how I became aware of XY. How I met ...
Pros: nice photos, good content Cons: hard to find at times
I have collected every issue of xy except two issues that have been lost. I think it is a great magazine with a nice little sarcastic edge to it. It does not try to candy-coat the "gay scene", and does not mind telling the truth about the fact...
Pros: cute guys, interesting layouts, occasional good articles Cons: editorials such, and not much personal opinion within
XY magazine is an enjoyable article overall. Many of its issues are full of pictures of boys and young men that most guys would find attractive. This is the main reason in why most guys purchase this magazine. Sometimes the editor will surprise you...
Pros: Helpful, great models, WONDERFUL stories. Cons: Old issues out of print, not widely available.
Not only am I thankful for such a insightful magazine, but very informative. This magazine was given to me by a friend. Not only did they help with countless coming out issues and the many different situations that this happens. Also, just how to deal...
Pros: Affirmative for gay youth Cons: Narrow view of "cool", bad writing, superficial
I've subscribed to XY since Issue 1. Every issue I read I swear will be my last but then end up going back for more. Here's the problem: the writing is bad but the topics are generally important for gay youth; the pictures are self-affirming IF you're...
Pros: advocacy, eye candy, interesting articles Cons: I guess you could call it size-ist
What I am about to say will not make any person feel any more impassioned about XY magazine, I don't doubt.
It's...okay.
I mean, it has an upside, and it has a downside. The upside is that it's something for young queer kids to read. I don't...
Pros: Full-color, easily read, provocative, shamelessly bold and full of eye-candy, but... Cons: Bad circulation schedule, even worse customer service. Geared to queer sluts. Mindless at times.
I subscribed to XY last December after buying several issues in stores. Well first of all, they took ...
Pros: Occasionally informative, lots of hot boiz, unapologetic Cons: Immature writing, seems to promote being a slut
Except for the recent addition of Joey to the market, XY has been the only magazine strictly for gay youth for several years, and is marketed as being for gay youth written by gay youth. And the fact that it is written by such is incredibly...
Pros: hip, edgy, intelligent writing focusing on gay issues Cons: not a thing
I was at a friends house a few weeks ago and was rummaging through his many magazines on the coffee table, and among the "Rolling Stones" and "GQs" I saw a magazine I'd never heard of before. It had the letters XY on it. I asked him...
Pros: contributions from readers, good writing styles Cons: lacks diversity
XY Magazine is a fairly unique magazine, in my experience. It is a magazine targeted primarily at young gay males (the XY website states their average age as 23.) As a young gay male I appreciate a magazine that is tailored for my demographic, just as...
