Out (ISSN 1062-7928) is a popular gay men's fashion, entertainment, and lifestyle magazine with the highest circulation of any gay monthy publication in the United States. It carries itself in a similar editorial manner to Details and GQ. Out is published by PlanetOut Inc. which also publishes The Advocate, HIV Plus, The Out Traveler, and Alyson Books. PlanetOut Inc. also owns Specialty Publications, which maintains an array of popular gay adult periodicals such as the Men, Freshmen, and Unzipped.

The magazine was founded by Michael Goff in 1992 as editor in chief and president. He and first hire, executive editor Sarah Pettit together built the largest circulation gay publication ever and for the first time attracted world-class writers and contributors and mainstream advertisers to fund it.

A key ingredient in Out's success in attracting high brow advertisers who had never considered targeting the gay market before was the magazine's offering of a safe environment in which no adult material or personal classifieds were published. By removing this significant barrier, advertisers were able to utilize this new national print media vehicle to reach a marginalized audience and effectively showcase their products and services. In less than two years, Out circulation and scope of advertisers surpassed that of forty-year-old The Advocate, then the only other national gay magazine.
