The Boy Is Beautiful is a biannual magazine that – in the publisher’s own words – began as ‘a niche infatuation with smutty Greek antiquities' and if it has sailed on into more sophisticated realms, that’s not an helpful description when trying get a handle on what it's about.
This is a magazine that follows a connecting thread from queer Hellenic lore, from myth and history, to contemporary gay life, a quest that has built a large following and community around the magazine. It helps too that this bookish, orange-imbued magazine its such a desirable object in itself.
