GAY TIMES 506: SOUNDS LIKE QUEER SPIRIT VOL.2

We’ve brought back our Sounds Like Queer Spirit issue for a second year, showcasing and celebrating the musical brilliance of LGBTQ artists and advocates out there right now. We have little doubt that our three cover stars this month have already inspired a young queer kid to help understand who they are. It’s a journey Greyson Chance had to undergo in the spotlight himself. After becoming a viral superstar aged 12, the Oklahoma native has been on a decade- long journey to become the artist he was always meant to be.

The same can be said for ALMA who, after speaking about her sexual orientation publicly for the first time with GAY TIMES last year, reflects on the journey she has been on over the past 12 months as an openly queer artist.

Then there’s the powerful, political and punchy lyrics of Chika; one of the most exciting new queer talents to burst onto the scene in recent years. The Alabama rapper is taking a no holds barred approach with her music, which has earned her a legion of fans and highlights her as a queer force to be reckoned with.

Alongside the poetic storytelling of Arlo Parks, the long-awaited debut album from Zebra Katz, rising star mxmtoon, hit-maker extraordinaire Tayla Parx, the return of La Roux, and much much more, this issue is packed full of queer excellence shaking up the music industry this year.

The fourth volume in Jack Pierson’s celebrated Tomorrow’s Man artist book series mixes imagery from all spectrums of the visual landscape into a single mediation on the world around us. Combining archival material together with contributions by emerging and established artists, Tomorrow’s Man 4 continues on where the earlier volumes left off. Mixed together in its signature all over design format this installment showcases historical pen and ink sketches by John Tottenham, hummingbird portraits by Brian Calvin, glazed ceramic constructions by Liz Larner, and deadpan street shots by Trevor Hernandez (better known to many by his Instagram handle Gang Culture) together with contributions by Cali Dewitt, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Lily Stockman, Richard Tinkler, and Evan Whale.

The title, Tomorrow’s Man, comes from an infamous bodybuilding magazine from the 1950s and ‘60s. Reappropriating the publication’s title as well as its retro bodybuilding aesthetic, Pierson takes viewers on a dizzying visual journey encompassing the full spectrum of cultural references. Includes a four large fold-out posters

Much of our obsession with astrology, our obsession with projections about the future, has to do with our anxiety about the present. The state of our world has queer and marginalized people uneasy. But it’s in times like these that the future doesn’t make us anxious, but instead excited to take control of manifesting the world we want to live in. Many of the themes in this issue are a projection of a better queer future: Olly Alexander’s tech-obsessed artistic practice or the visionary outlook on the modeling industry of New Pandemics. Then there are those which comment on the future, by way of looking at the past, like Jacob Tobia’s harrowing tale of navigating the gay world as a genderqueer person, Jim Parsons’ honoring of the AIDS epidemic, or Tom Capelonga’s survey of queer pop culture in the Twentieth Century.

When we take time to look at ourselves and our past, we start to pay attention to what the patterns of our life are telling us. But learning about yourself “is not the same as leading a meaningful life,” reminds astrologer Chani Nicholas. “It’s a portal into something that, if worked with, meditated on, leads to everything else.” We owe ourselves the time to evaluate the space we take up. That awareness gives us reason. It guides us forward, into everything that follows.

About Elska 27 (Warsaw, Poland):

Elska Warsaw is our twenty-seventh issue and our first made in Poland. Here is a country witnessing a massive upswing in homophobia, and as conservative voices get louder, queer voices need to be heard. So we decided to come lend a hand and spread a bit of homosexual propaganda.

Inside this issue you'll meet a selection of ordinary gay Varsovians who have shared their bodies and stories with us. Let's celebrate their courage and their don't-give-a-fuck attitudes. It's what Poland needs, it's what the world needs now.

Features images of / stories from: Maciek K, Lew Ż, Mateusz D, Arkadiusz M, Maciek P, Marcin C, Henryk M, Daniel U, Aleksander N, Sebastian G, and a Q&A with Emilio V.

We also recommend ordering Elska Ekstra Warsaw, available as part of the “bundle” , for loads of outtakes, a behind the scenes diary of our Warsaw trip, and to meet the following additional Warsaw boys: Krzysztof I, Mateusz M, Michał M, and Tom S.

Details and Specs:

Elska Warsaw is 196 pages. The print version is 170mm x 240mm (approx 6.7 x 9.4 in), full colour, sewn-bound, offset-printed, and on 130gsm (90lb) internal matte paper and 280gsm (110lb) textured coated coverage paper with flaps. One random Elska Collectors' Postcard is inserted inside.

About Elska 24 (Guadalajara, Mexico):

Elska Guadalajara is our twenty-fourth issue and our second to be shot in Latin America, following our popular Elska Bogotá project. Aside from sharing a Spanish colonial legacy and language, you'll also find that the men are some of the most open, proud, and daring we've met yet. If our Bogotá issue was our most naked issue ever, then this one is even more naked! So yes, the cover (sans censorship kitty) is totally appropriate!

But why Guadalajara? If you're looking at this wondering why our first Mexican issue was made here and not in Mexico City, then you only need to meet a Tapatio man who'll tell you quickly how his city of Guadalajara is the true gay capital of the country. It's this pride that convinced us to come here and made us fall in love with the city.

Inside this issue you'll get to know a sampling of local guys who we met on our trip, presented through honest photography and intimate storytelling. Some of the men you'll meet in Elska Guadalajara include:

• Daniel R, who talks about how he was able to come out of his shell, with a bit of blind bravery and a bit of trying to impress a crush;

• Alejandro G, who opens up about the pain of now being alone in a city whose every corner reminds him of his love, and waits for the day that they can be reunited;

• Iván D, who reflects on meeting a straight man who really touched his heart, showing the value of our hetero allies who can be loved and not only feared;

• Andrés A, who divulges the intimate details of a hook-up with a guy he met at the gym who he thought was out of his league, imparting a new confidence and convincing him to take more chances.

Features images of / stories from: Tom P, Daniel R, Iván D, Alejandro G, Luis V, Teo C, Alejandro S, Andrés A; plus our reader Q&A featuring Troy Tsai.

Includes texts in English and Spanish (followed by English translations)

Details and Specs:

Elska Guadalajara is 180 pages. The print version is 170mm x 240mm (approx 6.7 x 9.4 in), full colour, sewn-bound, offset-printed, and on 130gsm (90lb) internal matte paper and 280gsm (110lb) textured coated coverage paper with flaps. One random Elska Collectors' Postcard is inserted inside.

About Elska 22 (Stockholm, Sweden):

Elska Stockholm is our twenty-second issue and the first in our new bigger and better format, including a new paper stock, a textured cover with flaps, a more spacious layout, and a larger page size and increased page count. If you don't already collect Elskas, then now is the time to start.

Stockholm is an incredibly beautiful city, set on a series of islands and full of grand old buildings and handsome streets. We chose to visit in the winter, hoping for a setting full of snow and ice, which we got. We also got some of the warmest and cosiest selection of images yet. The men we met were photographed wrapped up in hats and coats and scarves outside and then half-naked in cosy jumpers and nothing else at home, or in nothing at all (but with the heat cranked up).

Stockholm is our third issue set in the Nordic region (after Elska Reykjavík and Elska Helsinki) and there are definitely some similarities both in the looks of the men, in their attitudes, and in the stories they wrote. There's a coolness, perhaps even an aloofness about them, giving a sense in their personal stories that it wasn't easy for them to open up. There's also a certain shyness, or perhaps a lagom-influenced desire to be understated, which is apparent in the way that their images are more off-guard and relaxed than in images from some other Elska issues like Los Angeles or London. There's also a bit of sadness, or at least of tentativeness, in their stories, perhaps influenced by the fact that we met these men in the cold dark winter.

Inside this issue you'll get to know the real Stockholm through the experiences of a random set of men from the local LGBTQ community who we met during our visit. Each was photographed in a natural, documentary-like style in the city and in their homes, and each contributed a personal story to help you readers get to know them at an even more intimate level. 

Some of the men you'll meet in Elska Stockholm include:

• Linus L, who talks about what good can come from letting go of self-consciousness and preconceptions about others;

• Albin H, who recounts the moment when he finally came to accept himself for his differences, and to view what he thought was a negative as a positive;

• Martin FJ, who confronts his cynicism towards relationships after a night spent with another guy from a hook-up app;

• Andreas S, who wonders if he's the 'wrong type of gay' or if it's OK to just be himself;

• Patrik G, who looks back at the rise, fall, and re-emergence of LGBTQ culture in Stockholm;

• Mathis F, who speaks of the frustrating duality of this city that contains both beauty and misery.

   

Features images of / stories from: Patrik G, Linus L, Albin H, Jonas P, Ross K, Tomas A, Mikael L, Andreas S, Mathis F, Martin FJ, and Tin Nguyen.

Details and Specs:

Elska Stockholm is 200 pages. The print version is 170mm x 240mm (approx 6.7 x 9.4 in), full colour, sewn-bound, offset-printed, and on 130gsm (90lb) internal matte paper and 280gsm (110lb) textured coated coverage paper with flaps. One random Elska Collectors' Postcard is inserted inside.

About Elska 19 (London, England):

Our nineteenth Elska Magazine issue is our second to be made in the UK, but our first to be made in England. Inside, readers are introduced to fifteen men from the local gay/queer community. Each get their own chapter containing a personal story they wrote from their life in the city, and several intimate and unairbrushed images shot of them inside their homes and out in their neighbourhoods. None are hired models or celebrities, none of the scenes are staged, and none of the stories are commissioned, resulting in an honest glimpse at gay lives in the British capital.

Living in London is vastly different to what tourists see and experience, which is why the images don't show what you might expect - there's no Buckingham Palace or even a Gherkin in the background. The stories are rather more real as well, and in the case of our London issue, often a bit dark. 

Some of the fifteen men you'll meet in Elska London include:

• Tommy M, who talked about the fabulous gay life he dreamed of as a teenager, eventually moving to London from his native Lithuania to find year after year of his expectations being shattered;

• Harry F, who shared a recent experience dealing with a barrage of homophobia from a punter at his local pub, something he didn’t expect to happen in this city and in 2018;

• Omar B, who wrote about learning to accept loneliness as a normal part of London life, and learning how to flourish anyway;

• Jamie T, who opened up about a sexually unwelcome experience at a work function and how the #MeToo movement has barely reached the LGBTQ community;

• Brad C; who discussed the trials of dating in the capital in a colourfully detailed and most explicit way that transports you into the city's pubs, parks, and bedrooms.

Features images of / stories from: Omar B, Dylan T, Darren B, Jose C, Jamie T, Alex L, Wellie Y, Sean B, Kamil M, Harry F, Tommy M, Brad C, Victor U-K, Konstantin Z, and Thomas G.

Details and Specs:

Elska London is 180 pages. The print version is A5 (24cm x 14.8cm / 5.8 x 8.3 in), full colour, perfect-bound, and on 130gsm (90lb) matte paper. One random Elska Collectors' Postcard is inserted inside.

Details and Specs:

Elska Berlin is 180 pages. The print version is 170mm x 240mm (approx 6.7 x 9.4 in), full colour, sewn-bound, offset-printed, and on 130gsm (90lb) internal matte paper and 280gsm (110lb) textured coated coverage paper with flaps. One random Elska Collectors' Postcard is inserted inside.

Elska Berlin is our second issue, made in one of the world's gay meccas. It quickly too became one of our most popular issues ever, and after selling out some time ago (and receiving loads of requests to make more), we finally decided to reissue it. However, we didn't do a simple reprint. We decided to redo the issue completely, going into our Berlin archives and selecting each image and story from scratch. The result is over 50% previously unpublished images, making the new Elska Berlin attractive for old and new customers alike. We also chose to redo the print version in our new bigger and lovelier format, making it all the more attractive.

The issue is divided into twelve chapters, each dedicated to one particular man who the Elska team met on their trip to Berlin. Each chapter includes a dozen or so images, taken of the subject both in the city streets and at home, dressed in their own style or often nude. Each chapter also includes a personal story contributed by each guy, sort of like an intimate conversation or diary entry. The goal of the magazine is to act as a sort of virtual transport to the city, inviting readers to meet a selection of local guys, get to know them, and fall in love with them and the city.

Features images of / stories from: Bastian C, Marc Y, Diego S, Luca T, Roman T, Emil T, Colin C, Falko D, David P, Heiko M, Matija M, and Raphael K.

We also recommend ordering Elska Ekstra Berlin, available separately, for loads of outtakes, a behind the scenes diary of our Berlin trip, and to meet the following additional men: Shir N, Luca T, Alessandro G, Adam G, Ticha T, and Max E.

The photography of ‘Elska Berlin’ and ‘Elska Ekstra Berlin’ includes work by Liam Campbell, Fedya Ili, Jonathan Lemieux, and Andriy Melnyk. The stories are written by the subjects themselves.

Details and Specs:

Elska Berlin is 180 pages. The print version is 170mm x 240mm (approx 6.7 x 9.4 in), full colour, sewn-bound, offset-printed, and on 130gsm (90lb) internal matte paper and 280gsm (110lb) textured coated coverage paper with flaps. One random Elska Collectors' Postcard is inserted inside.

Crotch is a Mens underwear and swimwear magazine, featuring beautiful men, bodies and sexual liberation.

BRETMAN ROCK

In an age of algorithms, fake followers and more influencer drama than you can wave an endorsed beauty wand at, Bretman Rock brings refreshing authenticity to the realms of social media. Rising to viral fame as a teenager, Bretman's millions of fans have come to expect far more than beauty and makeup tips, with his unique personality and message of 'living your damn truth' captivating his global audience. We spoke with Bretman on growing up on Instagram, the capital D Drama of the beauty industry, and why Pride is so important to him.

"I’ve always been comfortable with my identity, even when I was in third grade, I went to water play with a two-piece bikini."

BILLY PORTER

2019 is a historic year for actor, activist and red carpet assassin Billy Porter. Like the modern LGBTQ liberation movement, Billy turns 50 in June. In an exclusive interview, Pose writer and activist Janet Mock speaks to her friend about deconstructing masculinity with his unparalleled fashion lewks, why he “never imagined that I could be a black, gay, out leading man”, and the pair reveal what we can expect from the hotly anticipated upcoming season of Ryan Murphy's groundbreaking series.

"I stand on the shoulders of my black folks who came before me and know what it feels like to be disenfranchised. It’s a continued call to action for me and I hope that everybody in the LGBTQ community can come together and continue to fight for equality."

VALENTINA

“In my fantasy, I’ve been on the cover of every magazine,” says fan-favourite Drag Race alum Valentina, so it should hardly come as a surprise that she’s now gracing ours! The iconic performer has quickly become one of the most famous drag queens in the world, and after recently coming out as non-binary, is providing positive representation to a global fanbase of queer youth. Fulfilling not only her fantasy, but ours too, the superstar spills the T on All Stars 4, appearing as Angel in Fox’s live adaptation of Rent, and the love and support she’s found from the trans and gender non-conforming communities.

"Since coming out as non-binary, I’ve connected with a lot more of the trans community. I’ve gone to safe trans places and it’s such a beautiful community that look out for one another. I want to thank the community for being so kind with me, and I’ve been trying my best to advocate for them in Latin America because there isn’t a lot of safe spaces."

A Magazine about Sex, Gender and Identity

Tha Gaze Issue

“There’s nothing empowering about one part of you being visible when the rest of you is targeted, shamed and threatened.” — Jacob Thomas, Archer Magazine #11

Welcome to Archer Magazine issue #11: the GAZE issue.

"The notion of the GAZE goes beyond media. It encompasses how we make sense of our bodies through the way other people see us... It’s the way power expresses itself through imbalances in vision control: surveillance, objectification fetishisation, gaslighting, abuse. It’s the way a systemic problem can be minimised when those with influence sweep it under the rug." — Adolfo Aranjuez, editor-in-chief, Archer Magazine #11

Find Me

André Aciman

In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio's father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, now a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train upends Sami's visit and changes his life forever. Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, a New England college professor with a family, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return trip across the Atlantic. Aciman is a master of sensibility, of the intimate details and the nuances of emotion that are the substance of passion. Find Me brings us back inside the world of one of our greatest contemporary romances to show us that in fact true love never dies.
