Change it's name because/why?

All "gentlemen/a chivalrous, courteous, or honorable man" are "gay"?

Are YOU courteous?

Are YOU honorable?

Are YOU gay?

I forgot to ask..Are YOU a GENTLEman?

" It was also, not to put too fine a point on it, a much gayer era of GQ. Jack Haber, the magazine’s editor-in-chief from 1969 to 1983, was a gay man, as were his two extraordinary art directors, Harry Coulianos, who served from 1971 to 1980, and Donald Sterzin, who started out as one of Coulianos’s deputies and eventually succeeded him, running the department until late 1983."

Many magazines out of NYC and elsewhere

have a gay-friendly attitude. Often no attempt to disguise.
Generally oriented to arts, like modern painting, interior design, art direction.
The [fine] actor Steven Fry is said to believe that all people _should be_ same-sex oriented. His opinion, but The New Yorker for one is getting to that.

GQ was not explicitly a gay magazine, and its mandate, in fact, was to educate men of all persuasions about fashion and style.
