It was a competitor of the magazine Têtu. It was known for its high quality images among other attributes.^[2] Although it was a leading prominent and well selling publication for the gay communities it faced criticisms for being politically bland and not embracing non-consumeristic aspirations.^{[1] [3] [4]} They included some more risque content including supportive of LGBT families and open-marriages in line with that of modern French culture.^[5] They also were supportive of non-standard views of masculinity and how one's sexuality should conform to traditional models.^[3]
