Buy Dik Fagazine at Ilovemags.com!

February 23rd, 2009, 3:46 | No comments

Destroyer 08 featured a review of the latest issue of Dik Fagazine, a fab Polish art/gay magazine. I especially liked the snapshots from everyday life in Bukarest, as well as the beautiful photos from a Romanian mud bath.

I’m happy to announce that Dik now is available at Ilovemags.com!

Dik is shipped to you by the Dik crew in Warsaw. If you want to order Dik and Destroyer at the same time, I ask you to place two separate orders since the magazines are shipped separately. Thanks for understanding!

In the classifieds

I love the classifieds in gay magazines. Insemination and escort ads compete about the space, reflecting the vast spectrum of gay life. But look, there’s a new kid in town!

From the current issue of the German gay magazine Siegessäule.

Gay pride attacks

August 5th, 2008, 19:22 | No comments

In the latest issue of The Guide, I comment on the recent attacks on gay pride parades in Brno and Budapest:

In Brno on June 28, the Czech Republic’s first-ever pride march faced an assault by dozens of neo-Nazis that left 20 of the 500 gay demonstrators injured. Police and the extremists clashed for some 45 minutes at the end of the parade route, and some 15 were arrested.

Does the greater tolerance evident in this year’s somewhat more peaceful prides in Moscow, Warsaw, and Bucharest mean that the anti-gay sore spot is shifting Westward?

Not necessarily, says Karl Anderson, editor of the Prague-based gay magazine Destroyer, who contends this year’s violence in the Czech Republic and Hungary doesn’t have deep roots.

“Unlike what had happened in Poland and Russia, the parade wasn’t attacked by regular citizens, but by extremists,” Anderson says. “These countries have a tradition of being open-minded and secularized. The attacks don’t reflect attitudes at large.”
