''Hello Mr.'', stylized as ''hello mr.'', was a semiannual American lifestyle magazine focused on topics of interest to gay men. The magazine described itself as being "about men who date men," though the magazine tackled both queer and queer-adjacent topics. Each issue, between 150 and 200 pages in length, featured fiction, personal essays, interviews, art, and photography and photo essays. The magazine was founded by Ryan Fitzgibbon in 2012. Initial funding was provided by a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, which raised over $26,000. The first issue was published in March 2013, at which time the magazine was based in
