Much like the situation with Prop 8, most of the money for the campaign came from out-of-state groups who can't stand to see equality grow anywhere including the fear mongers from National Organization for Marriage.

Crazy people show up at a National Organization for Marriage "Summer for Marriage" tour stop

2010-07-27T09:27:00.000-07:00

http://www.freedomtomarry.org/page/s/nomstopthehate

According to "The Advocate" only 40 NOM supporters showed up and they were met by 250 gay marriage supporters. The sign clearly says who made it. I would just like to add a few other gems from Leviticus.

Leviticus 20:10 (New International Version) 10 " 'If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death."
Leviticus 15:19 " 'When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening."

Here's a good one.

Leviticus 19:15 " 'Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly."

Jane Lynch and Lara Embry married on Memorial Day in a small ceremony in Massachusetts. They met and fell in love at the NCLR Gala last year while I was sitting at the next table. Jane wore a cream-colored wrap blouse and black pants, and Lara wore a white and black cocktail dress. They kept it simple, and it sounds like it was a lovely day.

Queer as Folk

Here are The Lesbians on Queer as Folk at their wedding. It appears to be a somewhat casual affair.

The L Word-Carmen and Shane

Here is Carmen looking lovely and demure with her Mama at her winter wonderland wedding that never happened. What a shame to look so lovely and not get married!

Carol and Susan-1996

I love their jaunty Victorian hats worn instead of veils, don't you? The color and style of their outfits were definitely non-traditional.

Candace Gingrich, Newt's lesbian sister, was the officiant. The TV station in Lima, Ohio refused to air this episode because of its objectionable content. They must hate the hats.

Great place to find suits for folks with a lean frame

Ben Sherman is a British clothing company that makes really cute stuff. They have great argyle. Their clothes are cut in a European way that is slimmer than American clothing. Their clothes and suits would be great for men or women who are slender with small hips and narrow shoulders.

Sad News! Melissa and Tammy Lynn Etheridge Split!

Melissa and Tammy Lynn are splitting up! Perez Hilton reported it first early this morning. The article linked here has more details. I like the part where the writer refers to them as one of those celebrity couples that other people admire for being together for a long time. It's sweet.

I know lots of queer peeps, and now we know where they would shop for their wedding outfits.

What to wear Emergency! - posted on theknot.com

http://gay.weddings.com/Sites/Weddings/Pages/Main.aspx/special-topic-wedding-boards_gay-weddings_wear-emergency?MsdVisit=1

Here is an example of why I started this blog! This woman doesn't know what to wear to her wedding or where to shop for an outfit. Members suggested that she try Men's Warehouse, Express for Men and J Crew. What do you think? Good ideas? How will the salespeople respond when they know they are helping a lesbian shop for her wedding outfit?

Survey on Queer Wedding Fashion

2010-04-02T13:26:00.000-07:00

This survey asks some great questions about queer wedding fashion and how folks feel about wedding traditions and symbols and how they would like to interpret them in their own weddings. It's a project for a fashion design class at California College of the Arts.

Jane Lynch and Lara Embry are getting hitched! And they want you to go to the NCLR Gala this year. I was there last year at the next table when they met and fell in love. I wonder what they'll wear to their wedding.

Check out the video they made!

New Same-Sex Wedding Magazine-Equally Wed

2010-03-23T11:26:00.000-07:00

http://equallywed.com/

The premier issue of a new magazine about same-sex weddings, Equally Wed Magazine, is out now. I will have to see how I can get my little hands on one soon. I hope they will have some articles and photo spreads that will help answer the question of what to wear to your wedding. If you are familiar with this magazine, let us know what you think about it.

p.s. I have added the website to the Links to fun stuff!

Rosie O'Donnell and Kelli Carpenter

2010-03-09T16:27:00.000-08:00

Ok, so they have since split up and their marriage was deemed invalid by the State of California. But for a short time in 2004, Rosie O'Donnell and Kelli Carpenter were legally married. See that marriage license there? It was real.

I was in school near City Hall in San Francisco at that time. It was so exciting to be there every day and see all the satellite news trucks covering the event, all the couples lined up in the rain waiting for their chance to be legally recognized, and even the silly protesters. Hope was in the air! We didn't know how long it would last, but it was thrilling to witness such an important step forward in the fight for marriage equality. The mood was very different in 2009 across the street at the Supreme Court building when they affirmed the right of our fellow citizens to write discrimination into the California constitution.

First same-sex marriages in D.C. on March 9, 2010

2010-03-09T16:19:00.001-08:00

Here are Darlene and Candy becoming one of the first same-sex couples to be married in the District of Columbia. I think they look great and very happy! I love the pointy gold shoes.

Bianca and Reese-All My Children

2010-03-04T16:27:00.000-08:00

Ok, so these aren't real people, and not many lesbians get married with quite this much drama. But it is interesting to see what soap opera costume designers imagine two lesbians might wear to get married. They both look lovely, of course.

Melissa and Tammy Lynn

2010-02-19T16:22:00.000-08:00

These are some shots of what Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels wore for their 2003 wedding. Badgley Mischka designed their outfits. Those boys sure do know their way around a bead!

InStyle Weddings magazine was there, and they featured the event on their celebrity weddings television show.

Ellen and Portia

2010-02-19T16:08:00.000-08:00

Here is a lovely photo of what Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi wore on their wedding day during that 5 1/2 month window when gay folks were allowed to get married in California. Their attire was custom designed for them by Zac Posen. Don't they look great? Unfortunately, most of us do not have the connections and/or funds to have a well-known fashion designer put our outfits together. So what do you do? How can you create a look for yourselves that is as special as their look is?
