Dearly Beloved,
We are gathered here to celebrate another step together towards full equality.
History is in the making as same sex couples across our area join together in marriage. Holy matrimony!
We are delighted to share stories with you in our “Gay Wedding Issue” for you to cherish and keep forever and ever.
Let us join together and celebrate an issue dedicated with love as we bring you stories of wedded joy, happiness and all that mushy stuff.
We honor the 19 couples who said “I DO” with Mayor Peduto on Sunday the Fifteenth of June in the city of Pittsburgh, Two Thousand and Fourteen in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Page 22.
OLD traditions are tossed aside like a bouquet in a humorous look at creating change and making gay memories of our own. Page 18.
NEW memories will be created with our collection of wedding venues that will be breaking tradition this season when they welcome same sex couples for congratulations and celebrations. Page 30.
BORROW the advice of our travel expert and check out some friendly honeymoon destinations that will have you planning your getaway or next vacation. Page 26.
BLUE because you’ve not yet met that someone special? No worries, we’ve got a way for you to cope with always being the bridesmaid and never the bride. Page 20.
We’ve also brought together several other stories in this issue including many features you’ve come to love like your in-laws. Check out Hot Guy Reads a Book Pg 44 and our calendar of summer’s hottest events on page 10. Please save the dates.
We look forward to continuing to break historic new ground with you and thank you for allowing the writers and staff at Equal Magazine the opportunity to share the stories that shape our community and the lives of those we love.
LGBT Visibility Everywhere
Always
Joe King
