It seems to me that the Advocate is a pretty good publication as far as being clean goes.

I haven't thought so. The current issue has a prominent article on "polyamorous gay relationships", which is sure to do wonders for mainstream support of gay marriage.

I've been reading the Advocate since 1974 and it has definitely cleaned itself up over the past 32 years. Back then the Advocate was a gay newspaper tabloid with ads for poppers, bathhouses, bars, gay porn, and a pink section for personal sex ads. A June 1979 Advocate has articles about disco, police bar raids, the Harvey Milk murder verdict, and plans for the first March on Washington.
In 2006 the Advocate is a slick, professional looking gay magazine with full page color ads for Volvo, Wells Fargo, Bridgestone, American Express, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz and has interviews with people like Jimmy Carter, Heath Ledger, and Jennifer Beals.
