Têtu (French for "stubborn") is a gay magazine published in France. It is subtitled in French le magazine des gays et lesbiennes (English: the magazine of gays and lesbians).

  History

Published since 1995, co-founded by Didier Lestrade and Pascal Loubet, directed by Pierre Bergé, it was started following the demise of Gai Pied magazine (published 1979–92). In July 2008, Thomas Doustaly stepped down and Pierre Bergé chose Gilles Wullus as the new editor ^[1].

  Overview

The magazine contains interviews on LGBT issues, with politicians, celebrities, writers, dancers and so forth, along with articles and reviews on LGBT-themed books or films. Another section is concerned with LGBT news around the world, country by country. There are also posters, advertisements of brand clothes for men, and a few pages on lesbian issues. Additionally, some pages are dedicated to the news about AIDS, prevention and treatment. Periodically a free information guide entitled Têtu+ is published about HIV and AIDS.

In the summer, Têtu Plage, a magazine made specially for the beach ('plage' translates as 'beach'), is also published. It features pictures and crosswords, among other things.

Since the beginning of 2009^{[citation needed]}, American writer Bruce Benderson has had a column in the magazine, entitled "Journal d'un goujat" ("Diary of a Boor").

  Controversy

In July 2011, Alexis Palisson featured in a topless pose in Têtu wearing a fake moko and holding a taiaha. This caused controversy in New Zealand, with some Maori saying that Palisson was being disrespectful to their culture and that permission should have been sought from a particular iwi as the moko usually represents iwi affiliation. Palisson was eventually forced to apologise for any offence caused and stressed that he respects tattoo traditions.^[2][3]
