"NY Times" covers weddings of Max Mutchnick and GLAAD's Damon Romine

 
Eric Hyman and Max Mutchnick and their daughters

Yesterday's New York Times gave two (three, actually) weddings between gay men high-profile coverage in the crucial last days before voting on California's Proposition 8 takes place.

In a lengthy spread in the Fashion & Style section, the paper covered the wedding of Will & Grace co-creator Max Mutchnick and his husband Eric Hyman, including a picture of the couple and their two daughters.

And in the traditional Weddings & Celebrations section, the paper announced the double wedding of GLAAD's Damon Romine and Charles Robbins (executive director of The Trevor Project) and Romine's father David and his partner Larry Barrett, who have been together for over 16 years.

Recently-wed George Takei and Brad Altman were among the guests of the tandem Romine wedding, and both newlywed couples celebrated by taking in Leslie Jordan's show after the ceremony.

Warmest wishes to these couples, and to all those Californians (and otherwise) who have exercised their rights since the change in legislation regarding same-sex marriage this summer. (Including my own pals Pietro and Brent, who flew from NYC to San Fran to get married over the weekend. Congrats, guys!)

Gay Marriage announcements

It is incredible how many newspapers are now publising gay wedding announcements since the New York Times broke that ceiling.  I don't want to embarass or plagarize Gavin Newsome but, "Its gonna happen."

Newsome is the kind of politician we need working for everyone's rights.  Vote NO on 8 tomorrow and ask all your friends to do the same.

The paper in my mother's

The paper in my mother's little Midwestern town printed an announcement of two guys who got married in Provincetown, which I thought was interesting as it's not legal in her state. Of course, she sent me the clipping! If this paper in this town would print the notice, then all bets are off! Really!
