Ben Campbell from Merchantville, New Jersey, wrote into Details this month.

"Gay Or Details?"
With its fashion, pop culture, sophisication and pretty-boy models, Details has always been friendly to gay men, but every issue lately seems to get even gayer, what with all the articles on gay culture and the recurring "Gay Or" feature. Hey, I have no problem with gay people. I just want to know – as a straight man – is Details still for me too?

We'll forget, for a moment, that Ben thinks it's possible to be too straight for Details. (Technically, it is, but only if you read Field & Stream.) Or that, despite his assurances, in all likelihood he's a raging homophobe.

But let's rewind one hot second: Last month's issue, we pointed out, was perhaps the first issue under Dan Peres that didn't carry a single gay cover line and only hinted at the possibility there might be some homo hula between covers.

And then, remarkably, there was the May issue.

And there you have it: A second issue – that immediately followed last month's groundbreaking edition – with nary a single gay coverline. That Dan Peres is up to something, and we're determined to get to the bottom of it.

("Bottom." Get it? 'Cause this is a post about gay coverlines? Too easy, we know.)
