Splashy Same-Sex Wedding Magazine Launches For Gay Folks

What will these children come up with next?!

Our buddy Raymond R. (our straight friends are so eeefing cool and in the know) dropped us a tip about this brand new same-sex marriage magazine that just launched called Equally Wed. What a darling name. It’s for same-sex couples who are about to get married. Now isn’t that a clever idea.

Here’s a description of Equally Wed in a nutshell:

In addition to the wedding advice and features found in existing wedding magazines, Equally Wed will inform readers about same-sex marriages happening around the world, a directory of GLBT-friendly wedding vendors and reports on gay-friendly honeymoon destinations. It will also update readers on ongoing political debates over the legalization of gay marriage.

The magazine was launched by Atlanta, GA resident Kirsten Palladino, the editor-in-chief, along with her wife Maria. Nice. Palladino used to edit the Life & Food section for the Atlanta Sunday Paper.  We’re not quite clear but it appears that the magazine will be seasonal–we’re assuming that means published quarterly. If you’re photo freak you’re gonna love this magazine. It’s also got some cool and practical article departments and feature columns like where to buy rings, fashion trends for wedding attire, latest wedding invitation designs, honeymoon locations and ideas—there’s even a “local resource” section that lists several major cities for your localized wedding planning and research convenience.

And yes—the mag showcases a plethora of beautiful just to-die-for photo rich stories about couples getting married, proposal stories and mouth dropping fabulous weddings—weddings that clearly a good majority of you wouldn’t be able to afford not even in your wildest dreams——but hey– -at least you get to look at gorgeous pictures of someone else’s fairytale wedding.

We don’t normally do this but in our research about Equally Wed we came across a short post Gawker wrote up recently on the mag.  The comments accompanying the post from readers are A HOOT!  Here’s a few:

“This was actually part of the healthcare bill all along. The gay married couples can murder babies and grandma legally now.”

“Gay marriage will descend on America like a pair of sequined testicles and the whole conservative world will stare, agape, in fear, and then close its collective mouth very quickly.”

“Without the straight children how will we get more gays?! Won’t someone think of the straight children?!?”

“The MSM is already co-opting this niche. The Washington Post ran an article today on where bull-dykes need to go to find tuxes for their big lesbian weddings.”

(Note:we actually went looking for that Washington Post Tux story and found it. Here’s the link: Same-sex weddings open the door to finding the right male attire for women)
