fab is a Canadian gay magazine, which publishes biweekly in Toronto, Ontario. It publishes alternate weeks to the city's other biweekly gay publication, Xtra!. The publication’s official spelling uses a lower-case F: fab.
Contents |
fab started publishing in June, 1994. In 1996, fab also launched a national edition, known as FAB National to distinguish itself from the local Toronto publication. The national magazine struggled to build an audience, and was sold in 1998; its new owners ceased publication of the magazine within a few months.
Described as a "gay scene magazine", fab covers popular Toronto gay culture, including music and clubbing. Feature articles are usually news-related and deal with literature, AIDS, real estate, music, and other current-affairs topics. Photo spreads are common, and fab covers typically feature a young male model, often without a shirt.
The magazine had several editors prior to 1998, when John Kennedy took over. In the next four years, he increased readership and advertising revenues. After 100 issues, Kennedy was replaced by Mitchel Raphael in 2002; Raphael left the magazine in January of 2006 and was replaced by Steven Bereznai. In April 2007, Bereznai stepped down as editor-in-chief of the magazine. He has since been replaced by Paul Gallant.
fab's current columnists include Daniel Paquette, Paul Bellini and Matt Cassano. Past columnists included Todd Klinck, Jesse Stong, Nina Arsenault, Mark Mercereau and Brad Fraser.
The magazine is distributed as a free publication in Toronto, Hamilton, London and Ottawa, and is available in some other Canadian cities for a cover price of $4.50 per issue.
