NY Times is the New HX?

The Sunday New York Times had a splashy article on the Skin Tight Party at the Stonewall Inn which features guys dressed as superheros.  I'm not surprised that the gays have discovered yet another excuse to wear tight clothes to bars, but I was a bit pleasantly surprised to see the newspaper of record dive so deeply into the gay bar scene.  Check out the whole article, complete with a gallery of sexy men in spandex here.  I was looking for shots of Lazy Circles readers Doug, Ray and Junior in their comic book costumes, but I guess they avoided the camera.  Wait a minute, who are these three masked men?
