When we learned exclusively that Out magazine was naming BlackBook's Aaron Hicklin its new EIC, we cheered. After all, have you seen Hicklin's high-rise cheekbones? Apparently Out's readers did as well, and they've taken to Out.com's comments section to relay their excitement. Comments from the announcement of Hickin's new gig:

1. "I am pleased to have him as the new editor and chief, he is also sexy."

2. "I hope that you will enjoy OUT magazine. [...] P.s. Your also very cute too."

3. "Hello, please show men with a nice hair on the chest. Thanks"

4. "Best of luck! You have great credentials along with looks."

5. "I welcome you to OUT and if you ever want to go for a roll in the sack that could be arranged! WOW! You should be the next Hot Guy of the Day!"

Glad to see the gays haven't lost their stereotypical edge.
