List of people on the cover of Attitude magazine
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2014) |
This is a list of people who have appeared on the front cover of Attitude, a gay lifestyle magazine that is printed monthly in the United Kingdom.
Statistics
Often, the cover is of a straight celebrity gay people worship at the time. As of May 2010, attitude created 151 magazines of which 106 covers have been dedicated to straight celebrities or politicians. Only 45 covers have been dedicated to gay celebrities. The longest stretch straight celebrities have not appeared on the cover is two months. Editor Matthew Todd has claimed has suggested there are not enough famous gay people to have them on the cover constantly and has made a point of putting celebrities on the cover such as Beth Ditto (first gay woman on an Attitude cover) and Kele Okereke (first black gay man on an Attitude cover).
