Vogue might want to take a lesson in drumming up buzz from its younger sister, Teen Vogue.

While Vogue is getting all sorts of flack from the left for heralding Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid as the poster children for gender fluidity (ha), Teen Vogue has infuriated the right with a candid, health-oriented guide to safe anal sex.

Among those outraged over Teen Vogue’s sex ed piece is “The Activist Mommy,” who filmed a video of herself burning the magazine in a campfire while decrying that the editors’ brains are “in the gutter.”

Now that’s good marketing!

One of those gutter-brained editors, out Digital Editorial Director Phillip Picardi, recently went off on a Tweet storm about the backlash, and it is definitely worth a read.

If it's ok with you guys, I'm gonna TALK ABOUT ANAL SEX FOR A WEE LIL THREAD. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

We published a 411 on Anal Sex story on @TeenVogue as a continued part of our sex education coverage. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

I monitor the webmaster email and have been inundated with hate mail saying we promote sodomy and want teens to get AIDS. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

It’s funny, because I went to Catholic high school and had 0 sex education. I also had a teacher tell me gay sex was a sin in God’s eyes. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

Fast forward to frosh year of NYU, me crying at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, bc I’d just slept w someone who I found out was HIV+. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

The kind folks at Callen-Lorde taught me about HIV/AIDS, what it is, and how it’s contracted. They also told me to get tested regularly. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

They also explained the concept of HIV stigma, and that HIV and AIDS are two different things. And that HIV is not a death sentence. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

Then they taught me the importance of safer sex, and what I needed to know in particular as a gay man. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

I left a 40-minute doctor’s appointment with more life-saving information than I ever received in all my years of private school education. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

You see, my Catholic school was guilty of endangering all of us by sheer omission of FACTS. EDUCATION doesn’t equal ENCOURAGEMENT. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

Multiple studies have shown abstinence-only sex-ed is linked to higher rates of STIs and teen pregnancies. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

TBH, it is IRRESPONSIBLE. How can you possibly expect teenagers to practice safe sex if they don’t know what’s at risk? — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

How can you expect young women to not get pregnant without access to reproductive health care? — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

The backlash to this article is rooted in homophobia. It’s also laced in arcane delusion about what it means to be a young person today. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

If I had today’s @TeenVogue and @VeraPapisova when I was a teen, I would have been so much safer and better off. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

Instead, I made mistakes that consisted of quite a few doctor’s appointments! But I’m ok!! — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

But until queer sex, love, and families are included in education, we’re doing a dangerous and potentially lethal disservice… — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017

to a growing population. Gen Z will be our queerest and most fearless generation yet. — Phillip Picardi (@pfpicardi) July 14, 2017
