Fay Magazine #2

Fay Magazine #2

A photography magazine to celebrate faggots, their friends, lovers and families. Some fairies were invited to put their modesty back into the closet and spill a bit of magical powder. On a glittery platter, they offer their gazes, their skins, their frolics, sometimes even their poetry, to tell their own stories and connections. A programme devoted to the thousand shades of gay in the natural world. And if you’re asked, “What’s a fay?” just answer, “a gay who has spread their wings”.

In this issue:

Drawing on artistic references that are more or less explicitly queer, as well as mythology and religion, Gabriel Francez explores in this deeply personal series of self-portraits his relationship to the body and sexuality, particularly in connection with chemsex.

Alexis Robardet highlights the tenderness behind the virility of Valentin Beaufils’ body, a talented dancer and choreographer currently performing at the Crazy Horse (Paris), where he plays with the codes of femininity and masculinity.

What if queer utopia were not a place, but a practice? Over the course of a summer in a cottage in Wales, Yassine and Delwar carve out a space to exist differently, away from the norms and violences of the present.
