The Boy Is Beautiful #04
The Boy Is Beautiful is a magazine and an invitation to unravel the thread of queer Greek chronicles, from myth and history, to contemporary life. It's a quest to figure out what happened between the time of Zeus and Ganymede, Apollo and Hyacinth, Achilles and Patroclus, the Band of Thebes and the Lesbian Sappho, Harmodius and Aristogeiton and my fascist, sexist, homophobic school mates, Thursdays’ straightwashed history lessons and Symposium-less Plato. — Leonidas Liolios, Publisher & Editor
In this issue: Hold Me
The most tender issue of The Boy Is Beautiful yet. 112 pages of intimacy, proximity, touch, and play. Through text, image, PVC columns, and salt-stung hook-ups, it sets out to explore what it means to hold – and be held – in a world that so often denies us both.
