In a flash of marketing genius, Details has a story about gay families running at the same time the California Supreme Court strikes down a ban on gay marriage.

"Using adoption or surrogacy, more homosexual men than ever before are becoming fathers. It's not a novelty - it's a movement. Look for it at a playground near you."
...
"More and more gay men seem to be having babies," says Charlotte J. Patterson, a University of Virginia psychologist who studies gay families."
...
"And as with many trends, the increase in gay fathers has afforded its own terminology: the gayby boom."

Wait a minute, I thought Details was for all those 20-something dudes trying to figure out what scotch they're supposed to drink and how to wear an ascot as a joke?

In all seriousness, it is refreshing to see a men's magazine tackle parenting issues because it's fresh evidence that dads are playing a bigger role in childrearing. Details isn't trying to replace Cookie magazine, but it does want to publish stories men want to read.

"I do think dads have changed over the last 10 or 12 years...I do think it makes sense for Details to talk about parenting," said Meredith Goldblatt, a spokeswoman for the magazine, who stressed she was expressing her opinion not the magazine's. "I think it's a kind of natural evolution for the magazine to talk about it more."

The magazine, though, hasn't strayed too far. The May issue boasts the articles "Ashton Kutcher gets his #2*& kicked," "The office sex epidemic" and "How puck, Pedro and the miz changed TV forever."

I didn't see anything on breastfeeding.
