DNA Magazine DNA #105 Back Issue

Matthew Mitcham, Olympic Gold Medallist, we salute you! After beating depression and coming out, Matt’s medal-winning 10-metre diving performance was both a sporting and personal triumph.

In fact, it’s all about the couples this month. Colt Studio’s Adam Champ talks about his real-life romance with fellow Colt hairy stud Carlo Masi, and we suggest 21 Tips To Make Your Relationship last.

Our news feature takes us behind the razor wire of Villawood Detention Centre to investigate the lives of a detainee from Pakistan and the man who fell in love with, and examine his claim that centre guards sold him hard drugs.

Cyndi Lauper urges us to go dancing, author David Sedaris suggests a visit to Tokyo if you want to quit smoking, comedian Wil Anderson just wants you to cruise him and wood-chopper Laurence O’Toole is our Straight Mate.
