‘Hot Splash.’
To recap, a little Butt-shaped history class: ‘In 2001, Gert Jonkers and Jop van Bennekom started Butt, the pocket-size magazine by, for and about homosexuals. Flash forward 34 issues, three calendars and fifteen parties later, Butt is still the place where gays can speak candidly about their ideas, work and sex lives.’
Meanwhile, of course, Gert and Jop have launched Fantastic Man, The Gentlewoman and the sadly shuttered The Happy Reader.
Yes, the happily pink ‘veritable home of faggotry’ is back, leading with a wet and wild Giorgi Kikonishvili, a gay-about-Tbilisi who organizes everything from parties and protests, on the cover. Inside, meet ‘poppers sniffing stadium sensation’ Troye Sivan, ‘house-spinning icon’ Honey Dijon, and the recently departed Gary Indiana. Plus an op-ed about the benefits of club sex.
