You gotta love Neal Boulton. The former Men's Fitness EIC who, rumor has it, was axed after fraternizing with Jann Wenner, comes out in the October editor's letter of Genre: "I'm gay — but I'm American."

He doesn't stop there, however. Wailing on his justified dislike of labels, he writes:

"I have passed through every letter of our alphabetic acronym GLBT and loved every minute of it. The B issued me two stunning children, but I stopped at T because I gotta admit, operations scare me. As for the L — and a Harley rider — I am still turned on by a tough chic on a hot bike."

Well put, Neal, well put.

The full letter's after the jump.
