BOULTON IS BI-SEXUAL AND WHO GIVES A SHIT?

Genre’s Editor-in-Chief Neal Boulton loves stirring shit up!

From kissing Jann Wenner in public to going back to his wife to proclaiming that he’s NOT sleeping with his female nanny in Page Six.

“I do think I have annoyed gay folks, even though I have been riskily honest about all of my proclivities, including women,” Boulton, now editor of Genre, told Page Six.

“And I was recently hired as a consultant to re-launch HX…I made major changes there and believe I may have p-ed off some HX people because their spies saw me out with her.”

Is it unusual that an openly bi-sexual man is editing two gay publications?

Boulton thinks not.

“Folks tend to forget there is a ‘B’ in LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender], he tells Page Six, - a ‘B’ that I blatantly acknowledged in my first editor’s letter [in Genre]. In general I don’t care who I p- off.”

I love Boulton’s FUCK YOU attitude and he’s right.  I’ve been impressed with his work with Genre - especially the covers.  He knows the gay male audience and delivers covers that gay men want to read.  Plus, inside the magazine isn’t bad either.

So, if he’s bisexual who cares?

I know a few men who edit magazine’s targeted to women and they’re doing pretty well!   Larry Hackett from People Magazine runs the number one magazine in the country targeted to women.

Bottom line: It’s about knowing the reader, delivering a product that appeals to the reader and ULTIMATELY SELLS ON THE NEWSSTAND.  It’s not about whether you a man, woman, blah, blah, blah….
