Issue sixty two of the gay men's fetish, style and clubbing magazine Dirty Boyz has waded into an internet debate within the gay male community about the decision of the bear club XXL to bar men from wearing high heels and other accoutrements usually associated with femininity. In an editorial, the magazine says that the decision was taken not to be anti-femme but to create a safe space for gay and bi men to explore masculinity. The Dirty Boyz magazine is available on subscription and in Bristol is stocked by Bristol Bear Bar and in the gay lifestyle shop Prowler.
