Very Revealing

I find it very gratifying to once again be able to pick up your magazine and read articles that reflect my life as a gay man. For the longest time, I felt this was compromised in order to publicize the latest trend or flash in the pan, and though there is still some of this, and I do understand the need to attract younger readers, I find many things in the magazine worth reading. The Conscious Living section is quite good and I'm not aware of anything else like it in gay publishing. The “Edging Out” column really speaks to me as I spiral toward middle-age and look for meaning. Another article I really related to is the "reveLAtions" piece about the possible loss of gay identity [Dec. 18 issue]. I've read quite a few responses to the original L.A. Times piece,"Gay—the new straight," but Michael Kearns really put it in perspective with just the right dash of snark. All in all, very commendable. Please keep up the good work. You are satisfying at least one reader.

Actor Ascending

I just wanted to say thanks and great casting for your [Dec.18 issue] cover with Brandon Ruckdashel. I have had the pleasure of seeing him perform on stage in New York in the play Ascension. He is an amazing actor with so much talent. He is sure to go far and knock Hollywood off its feet. Not only is he gorgeous and hot on the outside, but he is the most beautiful person on the inside. He's the most down to earth person I think I have ever met. I am so honored to be able to call him my friend. Keep an eye on him people. He's going to the top.

Everyone’s a Critic

I was really disappointed in the list of films offered by both of your film "experts," Lawrence Ferber and Gary Kramer, featured in [Jan. 1 issue]. They both missed one of the most meaningful movies of the year, Munyangabo. Set in Rwanda, Munyangabo portrays the friendship between two teenage boys, a Tutsi and a Hutu. The ending of this moving film contains an important message for all of us—particularly during the Christmas seasons. Also missing from the list are The Band’s Visit, For the Bible Tells Me So, Sicko, No End in Sight, and The Ghosts of Abu Ghraib. All of these films are required viewing for everyone in the gay community.
