It was May 2001 when the first issue of BUTT magazines landed with a bang. It was about time to shake up the commodifed, clean-out image of homosexuality. And that is what BUTT magazine has been doing for the past five years. With its shockingly simple format of true, explicit Q&A's and candid photographs, BUTT proves that subversive gayness is very much alive in the minds of today's homosexual men.

From the homo pop star to the fashion designer, from the garbage man to the gay farmer, they show it all and tell all on BUTT's pink pages.

A lot of material from the now rare, earlier isssues of BUTT magazine is finally made available again in this anthology of the first five years of BUTT, including conversations with Michael Stipe, Gus Van Sant, Rufus Wainwright, Marc Jacobs as well as contributions from Wolfgang Tillmans, Terry Richardson, Hedi Slimane, asianpunkyboy and Helmut Lang, just to name a few
