GQ was always aimed at gay men.
I disagree. It was first a quarterly and then became a monthly in the 70s. It did have an audience aimed at higher income urban men, but with the influx of feminist writers it started turning by the late 90s into a metrosexual mag. By the 2010s, it went full feminist/woke. Not even a mens mag anymore. Idiots wearing dresses on the cover? FFS
