‘OUT’ Featured Milo Yiannopoulos and the Internet Is Furious
Today OUT magazine, under the control of editor in chief Aaron Hicklin, published an in-depth profile on gay white supremacist Milo Yiannopoulos. Clearly, many people are outraged by OUT’s decision to interview and photograph Yiannopoulos.
The profile, titled “Send In the Clown: Internet Supervillain Milo Doesn’t Care That You Hate Him”, evoked intense and immediate backlash for the magazine.
I just read the full @outmagazine profile of Milo. It's so fucking flowery I don't even think there's any journalism in it.

In the profile, which was written by editor at large Chadwick Moore, it seemed as if the goal was to position Yiannopoulos as a mischievous Internet troll as opposed to a bigoted transphobic asshat. The incredibly long interview was accompanied by a series of photos of Yiannopoulos dressed as a clown and in drag.
In an effort to avoid backlash (and responsibility) OUT included an editor’s note at the top of the article. It reads:
“It should not need saying that the views expressed by the subject of this piece in no way represent the opinions of this magazine, but in this era of social media tribalism, the mere act of covering a contentious person can be misinterpreted as an endorsement. If LGBTQ media takes its responsibilities seriously we can’t shy away from covering queer people who are at the center of this highly polarized election year, and we ask you to assess Milos Yiannopoulos, the focus of this profile, on his own words without mistaking them for ours.”
Although OUT hasn’t issued an official response, Hicklin tweeted this morning to complain about editing magazines, because, you know, it used to be more fun.

“Those days when you wake up and wonder why you are still editing magazines #itusedtobemorefun,” he said. At the moment, we’re all wondering why he’s still editing magazines, too.

Gus Kenworthy Spent His Weekend Skinny Dipping
Clearly, Gus Kenworthy is a fan of public nudity. The 24-year-old Olympian spent his weekend skinny dipping in the beautiful Alpine waters of Colorado. Kenworthy posted an action shot of himself diving naked into a gorgeous lake, and apparently the water was chilly because “shrinkage ensued.”

In a Q&A with OUT magazine, Kenworthy admitted to being a bit of an exhibitionist saying, “[The photos] got a lot of comments and likes and everything, but I ended up not winning the laptop, so it was kind of all for nothing. But I guess sometimes it’s fun to be an exhibitionist. Otherwise I don’t think I really am. I mean I definitely see profiles on Instagram all the time, guys that I think are hot, whatever, and it’s just shirtless selfies. And I’m not complaining about it, but I don’t want that to be my social channel, and I mean I do it here and there, but I don’t want to be gratuitous.”

He also provided advice to other gay men who don’t feel confident or comfortable with their bodies. “I think it all kind of comes from within, and being comfortable with your body and your sexuality, with everything comes with time and comes with a sense of yourself. I feel like people get ashamed of their bodies, and I think it’s hard, especially because on Instagram where you see people who have the most ridiculously ripped physiques and crazy, crazy bodies. I think people also have to remember that Instagram and stuff like that isn’t real. It isn’t their real self, and it’s the projection that they want people to have of themselves. But even those super hot guys that you see can maybe make people feel insecure, and I feel like those people are also insecure about so many things. I would just encourage people to feel comfortable with themselves, regardless of what their body looks like, or any of that stuff. The social stuff is so easy to get caught up with — it’s so superficial,” he added.
