The end of gay
The American glossy
Out magazine, which makes no pretense of seeking female readers -- it's all boy, all the time -- has been looking for a new
editor in chief since
Brendan Lemon hightailed it outta there in October. Out found
Andrew Hicklin, who'll be finishing up a stint at some hipster New Yawk mag called
BlackBook in the next coupla weeks, before switching offices. Hicklin's new tome is
"The Revolution Will Be Accessorized : BlackBook Presents Dispatches from the New Counterculture."
Hicklin is straight.
Pundit Andrew Sullivan
says so. "Seriously, I think it's great that a straight guy is now heading up a gay magazine. Integration is now the baseline from which many of us operate. Good for Out for being unafraid to pick talent over identity."
