I normally purchase this magazine when I'm in a coffee shop or trying to pass the time, it's great having it sent to me every month. I can stay up on issues and media coverage in gay culture. Love this magazine.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great for NYC fashion/entertainment guys... Worthless for everyone else., October 3, 2011

I am going to be so glad when this magazine finally stops coming. It actually annoys me to read it these days - for a magazine that tries to represent the gay community, it is shocking how incredibly narrow and one dimensional it is. 99% of the magazine is focused on a specific type of homosexual - a fashion/entertainment focused New York gay male.

Just look through their top 100 lists - you'll be hard pressed to find one "powerful" gay person who isn't doing acting, fashion, or art. I live in San Francisco and can say confidently that quite a few gay men and women are shaking up the tech space (Tim Cook anyone?). Reading OUT magazine, however, you'd think that gays are a special species that are only good at interior design and picking out haute couture. I worry about young gay kids reading this and thinking that this is what defines us as a community.

If you're a gay guy with diverse interests, I'd highly recommend DNA magazine instead. They are based in Australia but somehow manage to be much more relevant and interesting to someone like me. They have a lot of fitness/outdoors focused articles, travel writing, and they also have unbelievably hot photoshoots. Why would anyone read out when this is an alternative?

1.0 out of 5 stars All The Depth of a Pancake, November 27, 2010

This review is from: Out's Advocate Edition (1-year auto-renewal) (Magazine)

Geared to the gay community, OUT is a glossy magazine designed to appeal to individuals who find PEOPLE too deep.

The magazine is advertising heavy, and not surprisingly the advertising in question tends to be fashion-and-style oriented. The articles follow suit. This might not be a bad thing but for the fact that it is all 1980-ish clone in nature: guys in tight pants and open jackets, snippets of exercise advice, hair-style how-to, and tiresome underwear models. There is the occasional celebrity piece and the occasional nod to lesbians. When all is said and done, OUT has all the depth of a pancake--the sort of thing you flip through once and then throw away. Yawn.
