Genre Magazine
Relaunches With Sports Section
Genre Magazine claims to reflect "How We Live." It's starting to do just that. With the 101st issue hitting newsstands this month, Genre has a new look, a new focus, and a new sports section, titled "Jocks." Cyd Zeigler, co-founder of Outsports.com, has been brought on as Genre's sports editor. Each month the magazine will feature two to three gay sports teams or athletes. The February issue includes articles on the Colorado Climax hockey team, the Golden Gate Wrestling Club in San Francisco and Kevin Battistelli, a hockey player with the New York City Gay Hockey League. "It's rewarding to see a national gay magazine finally take serious notice of the gay sports world," Zeigler says. The inclusion of a sports section shows a change in attitude at the magazine. New Editor-In-Chief Andy Towle has dumped the old "naked boys sell" mentality in order to build a gay lifestyle magazine that truly reflects the gay lifestyle. While there will certainly be enticing pictures included in the magazine, the meat on the pages will be the stories of real people living real lives.
