About

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 the magazine's current editor, Steven Bereznai.
