Surely part of this is technology driven? Forget porn, hot guys (and not just the gay ones) are only too happy to show off online. So there’s little market for “come for the hot guys, (maybe) stay for the articles.” A gay magazine, like art in general, now has to serve some higher purpose: to uplift those who have not yet been uplifted.
I'm thinking it's time someone started a magazine called Unpolitically Hot.
