My husband and I just celebrated our first wedding anniversary. How many of us are there?
BTW -- we don't know any straight couples whose marriages have ended since we got married, but three guys in my office proposed to their girlfriends since then, two within a month of our marriage. It's a tiny statistical sample, but it looks like perhaps that saw about gay marriage destroying straight marriages has it in reverse. Apparently the desire for two gay men to fly to another country to marry caused these straight couples to see greater value in marriage than they had before, and they've taken the plunge.

Fri, September 2, 2005 - 9:27 AMI'm curious how gay couples who have been married legally in Mass are received in your home stated (if they aren't Mass). Have you tried testing the boundries of what your home states is willing to consider a "legal marriage"?

Sat, September 17, 2005 - 2:59 AMI'm straight and divorced!
But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna try and help change things.
When the country makes advances in the realm of equal rights, it's good for everybody, not just the people who were getting mistreated. -

Sun, September 25, 2005 - 11:55 AMMy partner and I have been together for over 5 years, but do not have the option to get married in New York as yet. I'm not clear on what possibility there is for getting married in Provincetown for instance and coming back to NY looking for equal rights - we do want to get married when we have the opportunity and legal standing to do so. -

Re: How many of us are gay and married?
Wed, November 15, 2006 - 12:16 PMMarried (in our own sense of the word) on July 20, 2001. But, we've been registered as a domestic partnership with the City of Long Beach, County of Los Angeles and State of California since the fall of 1999.
I found that our commitment ceremony and the reception, etc. was so good for many of our straight friends - one of whom said, "I didn't know it wasn't legal for you guys to get married." It also did wonders for my family even though they wouldn't come to the reception (the ceremony was private, us and two friends).
