''Blueboy'' was a gay pornographic magazine with pictures of men in various states of undress, first published in California in Spring 1983 (date March-April-May 1983). After the initial joint 3-month issue, it continued publishing monthly. Originally featuring more "softcore" images (e.g. male models were usually shown without erections), as well as fiction, news features, essays and social commentary, and articles on music and entertainment, the publication was largely regarded in the 1980s and early 1990s as a gay version of ''Playboy'' or ''Penthouse''. Typical articles concerned social climbing, the latest fashions, picking up strangers, television and film reviews, and the secrets of love. It would also touch on more pressing issues such as politics and gay rights. For example in the 1970s and 1980s the magazine did stories on Anita Bryant, Harvey Milk, Ed Koch, AIDS and The Reagan Administration. Beginning in the 1990s, however, with competition from such gay and political publications as ''Out'', ''MetroSource'' and ''Genre'', the magazine focused much more on hardcore gay images, and jettisoned most of its non-porn content. Blueboy's final issue was December 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blueboy magazine )〕 Blueboy magazine started out of Washington D.C. (not in CA in 1983) in 1974 under the name blue boy edited by Don Westbrook (Donald N. Embinder). It started out as glossy gay male magazine that covered the Washington D.C. area. By volume 2 in 1975 it had moved headquarters to Miami, Florida and became more of a glossy soft-core gay magazine that targeted the national scene. The magazine quickly became hugely going from 26,000 subscriptions in 1975 to 160,000 subscriptions in 1976. In 1983 Don moved to CA and restarted the mag there. ==In popular culture== Singer Cyndi Lauper mentions the publication in the first lines of her song "She Bop": : Well, I see him every night in tight blue jeans : In the pages of a ''Blueboy'' magazine 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blueboy (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
