Edited by Abi Benitez and Tom Jackson, GAYLETTER magazine is the first post-gay publication to embrace the best of queer culture while disregarding labels and categories. The publication features original photo essays by renowned artists and photographers such as Jack Pierson and Renee Cox as well as long-form interviews, travel pieces and fashion stories.

Review

If the name sounds familiar, that's because Gayletter started as a well-regarded email newsletter that chronicled queer art, culture and night life in New York. The founders, Abi Benitez and Tom Jackson, who run a growing operation that includes a website and social media, attend the Bureau's opening, taking photos for their blog and talking about their own risky leap into print.

This racy content is presented with the crisp graphics and sleek format of more traditional magazines, co-opting mainstream style for their own edgier content. (Brian Sloan The New York Times 2014-11-20)
