With most gay publications sliced seemingly from the same loaf of fluffy, fiber-free Wonder bread, you have to hand it to Glance: A Review of Social Trends & Mainstream Arts for Gay Males. This densely typeset newsletter comes out of a bakery all its own-- one that readers who manage to chew through an issue may decide only half-cooks its editorial loaves. "Glance," declares the masthead, "is mainly intended for those who are interested in the issues of western sexual biases (against gay male sexuality) and American racism against different cultural groups." So far so clear. But here's a typical sentence: "Western women grab onto Slavic males' sentiments with Irish males, believing Slavic males are just part Irish, and that Irish males' emotions are physical, squirty sentiments, which can be grabbed onto, uprooted, and ejaculated through lewdness." An issue of Glance contains thousands of such sentences, all in type the size of poppy seeds. There's a kind of poetry here, but where's the beef? Decide for yourself, for less than the price of a dozen bagels. A sample issue of this maybe nutty slice of Midwest gay culture sets you back just three dollars. Write to Glance, PO Box 44093, Indianapolis, Indiana 46244. "All articles are opinion pieces," the editors note, perhaps by way of explanation. "Their factual accuracy is not of primary concern."
