It's an exciting contemporary history that is told about hard work, about vulnerability, about being in-your-face. What this slender book does is chart the magazine's history and backlash, presenting a calm rational response to the hysterical screams of paedophilia. He has since then contributed to a number of newspapers and high-profile glossies, straight and gay. For a long time he worked in the heart of Stockholm's gay scene, as the editor of Sweden's first glossy gay magazine. Karl Andersson is a Swedish linguist and writer. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The outraged reactions to Destroyer expose hidden power structures and show how gay identity has been steadily shrunk over recent decades, excluding ever more expressions of homosexuality. It's also the story of the gay movement in the 21st century. Gay Man's Worst Friend is not only the thrilling story of Europe's most controversial gay magazine, told from Stockholm, Prague and Berlin. A police investigation was instigated and Destroyer's editor Karl Andersson was summoned to an interrogation. Neo-Nazis were just as upset, and the Ombudsman for Children demanded a change in the law to make the magazine illegal. The Swedish LGBT establishment cried out against the magazine, claiming it gave gay people a bad name. For the first time since the 1970s, a gay magazine dared to openly celebrate the beauty of the teenage boy, in words and pictures. The first issue of Destroyer magazine dropped like a bomb in May 2006.
