DNA Magazine DNA #301 – Celebration Zurück Ausgabe

Stuff it – let’s party! There’s not a lot of good news coming out of the US. Trump’s executive order on “two genders”, Republicans in Idaho want the Supreme Court to allow them to ban gay marriage, a health insurance company in Texas claims covering PrEP is against their “religious beliefs”, Meta has decided it’s okay for LGBTQIA+ people to be described as mentally ill…

But at DNA, we are always celebrating gay people and culture and this issue is particularly riotous! We’ve got Reuben Kaye camping it up in Jesus Christ Superstar, Lil Nas X getting jiggy on the back seat with a hot chum, and New York men raising their blood sugar levels (and our blood pressure) with sensual nude/cake portraits.

In our latest Conversation With The Elders, 90-year-old Les Peterkin says, “Get on with it and enjoy yourself,” while another generation, pop stars On Mekahel and Stewart Taylor, get shirtless for our entertainment.

Robert La Bua takes us to Rio de Janeiro (for the beach) and Sao Paulo (for the art and culture). Photographer Stas Vokman and three loved-up models take us to the beach for a raunchy Summer Fling. Even our Straight Mate this month, The Bold And The Beautiful’s Scott Clifton thinks they should kill off his straight character and bring him back as his gay identical twin!

But when it comes to celebrating LGBTQIA+ pride, nothing beats WorldPride, and this year, the massive global event is hosted by none other than Washington, DC, now the official residence of the great Orange One. We preview WorldPride Washington, a city that combines history and arts with a vibrant party scene no matter who is in the White House. We may not survive the Trumpster Fire that’s coming so get to DC and party like it’s, er, 1979! A big, brash, loud, colourful, disrespectful queer fiesta right on the Republican’s doorstep is exactly what we need this year! Be loud, be proud be heard. Enjoy DNA #301.
