For a long time the print media was without a magazine devoted to gay community. Every sector of the market was targeted and the gay community was unswervingly ignored. However, all this changed when the media moguls saw the power of pink pound. There were suddenly not one or two but several gay magazines on the market, that were about gays, by the gays and for the gays.
Magazines in the UK
From health to wealth, from entertainment to child rearing, from beauty to housekeeping, sports to celebrity gossip, there are magazines for every possible need in the UK. There are magazines for scuba divers and magazines for science geeks, you name it and they have it. Earlier gays used to read women magazines that featured lot of hot male bodies on display and Playgirl was one of their all time favourite. The content was obviously not targeted towards men and hence gays longed for a full-fledged magazine they could call their own.
Gay magazines
Some of the older magazines in the UK, targeted towards gays, are The Pink Paper and Gay Times. Other gay magazines such as Attitude, Boyz, Refresh, Bent, and AXM magazine are relatively younger but by no chance are young in talent and content. The fact that gays have relatively higher purchasing power than their straight counterparts, has given rise to these magazines. Most of these magazines have captured a fair share of market and have top-notch companies advertising with them.
UK fashion magazines
Wondering if distressed jeans and checked shirts are in rage or not? Well, UK fashion magazines will tell you all these and much more. Some of the leading publications that give you an insight in the fantastic world of fashion are Elle, Vogue, InStyle, Look, and the list goes on. These glossy magazines are perfect for you if you want to be up to date about ever changing world of fashion.
Glamour magazines
Celebrity or glamour magazines are great for people who are tempted by celebrity scoops and scandals. Glamour, Hello, OK, more and Now are just to name a few! From catching celebrities without make-up to who’s dating who, you will find all spicy tit-bits in these magazines. Many gays take pride in their knowledge of celeb lifestyle and news and these magazines give them an edge over others. These magazines primarily target females but now have a universal appeal.
Man’s magazines
When you think of men’s magazines, you think of sports and cars. However, men magazines are not what they used to be earlier. Men can get first hand information on everything from cover girls, celebrity girls, hot babes, men’s fashion tips, men’s designer and street clothing information, cars, gadgets and sports of course. FHM and Maxim are leading publications followed by others such as Men’s Health, Esquire and Smooth.
You can subscribe to all these magazines online and don’t even need to go to a local magazine shop anymore!
