HX magazine was a free weekly guide to gay Gotham that spanned the nineties and the naughts. Jam-packed with listings, classified ads, party pics, gossip, reviews, features and more, the magazine was available at nightlife hot spots and in once-ubiquitous magazine boxes on NYC street corners. HX — as in Homo Xtra — covered dance clubs, Broadway shows, celebrities, go-go boys, bars, DJs, divas, drag queens, eateries, film, fashion, art and more. Oh so much more. Here’s a small sampling of HX covers during my tenure…
