Hi, and welcome to the September edition of the UK’s largest free gay monthly lifestyle magazine – Bent.
  • Our cover star is the wonderful Lady Gaga, a woman who appears to have changed the course of pop as easily as she has changed her outfits. Is the woman a genius or a pale imitation of Madonna, Christina, Kylie et al? You make up your own mind.
  • Over in New York we meet up with our old rapper chum, the gorgeous and gay Cazwell. His videos are still creating a great deal of interest with his tongue in cheek fun-poking at some of the biggest names in the business, while enjoying abusing his hunky Latino dancers on the shoot.
  • Porn artist Oliver Frey chats to Bent about his work and why he had to change his name to Zack when his much admired artwork became so successful. He also has a new book out called Bike Boy where some cute little numbers meet a succession of lustful hunks in the most fabulous cartoon strips. Peanuts it ain’t!
  • We find out about the Australian winner of Aussie Idol, the tranny… Courtney Act who is currently wowing folk at home and in the US, and who can count Lady Gaga as one of her biggest fans.
  • We also join the Circuit Festival in Barcelona for their parade of sexy hunks in trunks… which we can never can get enough of can we? And as if that wasn’t enough there’s a salute to Divas… and why we all love ‘em.

    Plus all the usual travel, fitness and advice features and our music, DVD and album reviews.There’s so many good things in it… you’ll swear it just can’t be good for you!
