Summary

This issue of EQUAL magazine, published in August 2014, focuses on LGBTQ weddings following the striking down of Pennsylvania’s ban on same-sex marriage. Key highlights include:

  • Marriage Equality in Pittsburgh: The magazine celebrates the historic event on June 15, 2014, when Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto officiated the marriages of 19 same-sex couples. Stories of some of these couples, including Cindy Neitz and Christine Allen, Sameer Samudra and Amit Gokhale, and Karla and Terry Cowden-Bolster, are featured.
  • Wedding Planning: Articles offer advice on wedding cakes (traditional vs. non-traditional flavors and toppers) and suggest “5 Wedding Traditions That Need To Go Away,” such as the money dance and garter/bouquet toss.
  • LGBT-Friendly Venues & Services: The issue lists numerous Pittsburgh wedding venues that welcome same-sex couples, including the Heinz History Center, The Warhol, and Mansions on Fifth. It also features advertisements for LGBT-friendly wedding services like Divine Celebrations and Kelli Burns Entertainment, and a retail shopping venue called SameStyle™.
  • Honeymoon Destinations: A “Top LGBT Honeymoon Hot Spots” article by Rick Sicilio provides recommendations for gay-friendly destinations worldwide, including Switzerland, Buenos Aires, Australia, the UK, Cape Town, St. Bart’s, French Polynesia, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Spain, Providence, San Francisco, New Orleans, New York City, and San Diego.
  • “Soldier of Change” Feature: An in-depth article profiles Major Stephen Synder-Hill, a gay soldier who publicly challenged anti-gay military policies, leading to his book “Soldier of Change.”
  • Community and Events: The magazine includes a calendar of August events, “What’s Gay and Goin’ on?” photo spreads, and an article on local musician C.J. Mitchell and his gay anthem “Permission 2 Love.”
