Butt (magazine)
Butt was an international, English-language magazine published quarterly in the Netherlands from 2001 to 2011 , according to its own description on the website “for and about male homosexuals”. The 16.5 cm × 23.5 cm magazine was printed on pink paper and ushered in the renaissance of the fagzines in the 2000s.

The editors were Gert Jonkers and Jop van Bennekom. The prominent employees included u. a. the photographers Wolfgang Tillmans and Walter Pfeiffer or the Canadian filmmaker Bruce LaBruce . The magazine was printed on simple pink paper, mostly in black and white with a few colored photo series and also contained pornographic images and readers' contributions.
The main content consisted of interviews with homosexual men, often artists , and photo series.
After it appeared more and more irregular for a while, the print edition paused according to No. 28 in February 2010, initially planned for about a year in order to further develop the website and other projects. However, in 2011 the publication with No. 29 was finally discontinued.
