''XY'' was a gay male youth-oriented magazine published in the United States of America from 1996 to 2007. Its name was a reference to the XY chromosome pair found in males. XY magazine ceased publication in 2007, and its web site XY.com went offline in 2009. Much of the original staff went on to publish ''B Magazine''.〔(B :: Magazine of the Future :: B )〕 == Background == ''XY'' was founded by Peter Ian Cummings in San Francisco in 1996, and moved its operations to San Diego, California in 2001, and West Hollywood, California in 2004. It published roughly four editions a year, with a sometimes erratic publishing schedule. The magazine contained political and cultural articles, pictures, and submissions by readers. Featured comic series included as ''Tough Love'' by Abby Denson and ''Joe Boy'' by Joe Phillips. From its inception in 1996 through 2007, 49 issues were published. In XY49 (the winter 2008 issue), founding editor Peter Ian Cummings announced that he would be leaving the magazine for personal reasons, and that he and his investors were looking for a new team to take it over. When an exhaustive search produced no suitable buyers, the magazine remained in limbo until 2010, when Cummings filed for bankruptcy.〔http://privacylaw.proskauer.com/uploads/file/NJConsent(1).pdf〕 During the bankruptcy proceedings, the Privacy Division of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), a Federal Regulatory Agency, ordered subscriber and xy.com profile data to be destroyed to protect users' privacy (more below).〔(Publisher, Former Partners Agree to Destroy Personal Information About Gay Customers | Electronic Frontier Foundation )〕 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「XY (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
