Typical of Out/Advocate to feature blacks/browns only in negative/stereotypical stories. Never a black/brown positive story, of success, excellence, achievement or anything constructive.
I've stopped reading ages ago, and they really only represent and advertise for white gay male.
If you really want to see what white gay men do for "fun", watch (better not really, it's a disgusting true story of a "chaser") Todd Verow's "Bottom". Totally not the clean cut wholesome gay white male these publications like to promote, and equally disturbing.
I stopped reading the mainstream gay media a long long time ago. There was a point when I realized it represented a way of life and culture that I had no interest in, and would never welcome me either. The only thing I have in common with much of the mainstream gay community is an attraction to the same sex, my geekiness represents many more important cultural touchstones to me.
That's really what I do too. My partner still subscribes, so I get a chance to have a look from time to time, and I find it quite upsetting, but mostly tedious/boring.
PS, was going through the comments on out.com, and faire enough, one David Kelsey seems to express the same pov. I guess it's not a coincidence.
(I can't comment there's because I'm not on FB, nor any of the other alternatives needed for commenting. AOL, really?)
