Home > XY Magazine


A gay youth-oriented magazine published in the United States of America. Based in San Diego, it publishes roughly 4 editions a year. However, the magazine is notorious for its erratic and sometimes late publications of editions. This lack of structure, though, is almost part of the magazine's appeal. It is rather focused on pictures and submissions by readers.


Since it launched in 1996, there have been 42 editions published. The editor is Peter Ian Cummings. As well as regular issues, the magazine has published a series of specials:



"XY is a glossy, color magazine, published bi-monthly, and known best for its original photography, brazenly honest commentary on politics and culture, review of film, music and literature, reader contributions, advice on surviving young and gay, and a rather dark sense of humor."
