Brand-new Gay Event Mag EquallyWed Desires To Commitment Ceremony You | Autostraddle

EVEN BETTER THAN POPULAR BRIDE:


The best part towards launch of

Equally Wed

, a brand-new magazine for same-sex weddings, is that its currently touting alone as “The Nation’s Premier Same-Sex event Magazine,” basically like when my mother claims I’m her preferred girl b/c I’m the woman only daughter.

But whatever! Spearheaded by Georgia locals Kirsten Palladino along with her spouse Maria (the 2 are not lawfully wed b/c The usa blows), the mag is already appearing like probably the most carefully assembled, diverse-yet-honest representations of your community we have observed online, despite its niche-within-a-niche subject.

Equally Wed could be the country’s premier same-sex wedding mag, supplying homosexual, lesbian, bisexual and transgender lovers with a modern, stylish and unique self-help guide to wedding ceremony planning, from band shopping and proposing to tying the knot and living gladly previously after—and all things in between. New and revolutionary, Equally Wed supplies a closer look into Real wedding parties around the globe, including engagement tales, a socially interactive society and neighborhood sources, a vetted market wealthy with GLBT-friendly wedding suppliers.

The second-best component relating to this magazine would be that whereas Bridal Magazines literally eat a complete stand at mag-stand, the “groom” industry never exactly caught on. Centered on a couple of episodes of

Bridezilla

, we determine this is because grooms are all overweight cheez-doodle-huffing slobs with terrible flavor exactly who just want to get the bru-ha-ha over with so they can get have drunk-sex in Aruba making use of their over-manicured princess-of-the-pea lonely wives right? In conclusion,

Equally Wed

might have its digit regarding heartbeat of two strong wedding-related marketplaces:

listed here is a method to attain besides inaccessible queers, but the formerly untappable male wedding-prep marketplace also.

Whenever there’s money as generated, laws and regulations change rapidly, yes?

So we state

hurrah!

The top concern features articles such as the
Top marriage type fashions of 2010

state-by-state guide to same-sex marriage statutes

how exactly to choose the right match to suit your bod
, “masculine or female.”

The Bridal Magazine marketplace, as soon as a mainstay for all the writing sector, happens to be crashing nowadays
as ladies went on the web for guidelines and found conventional mags too traditional with their tastes.

Modern Bride, Elegant Bride

and

InStyle wedding parties

have the ability to shuttered within the last several years. This spots

Equally Wed

in an integral situation to shake up the industry with a new deal with an old category.

Generally, all this mag needs is a gigantic multi-page element on

The Wall Street Journal

has unearthed that some truly celebrities had gotten declined from Harvard, because actually no person gets into Harvard, and so you shouldn’t feel bad about not getting into Harvard. BTW; that is tip #1 of college or university Admissions. Guideline no. 2 is “nobody gets to Columbia.” Tip no. 3 is actually “NYU accepts & rejects college students at random after no particular noticeable paradigm.” Tip # 4 is actually “in a-year, might desire you had spent a shorter time fretting about this crap and just gone to a situation class to save some motherfracking $$$.” This still does not describe
how Pandora & Thomas found myself in Harvard
, however. The ethical of tale, as Autostraddle’s university students can inform you, dear senior high school seniors, is the fact that what class you will get into won’t ever matter just as much to you whilst does this month. Oh if in case you’re performing the college thing today, take a look at
Campus Pride’s equivalence directory.

When legalizing pot becomes a gay problem
:

“Think about, if you will, a world whereby AIDS businesses raise money by offering healthcare marijuana in the place of utilized clothing and furniture? At this time any company that gets any national investment is actually restricted from this opportunity.

Feministing takes a glance at
undertaking gender with makeup products
as well as how makeup products businesses offer their products or services making use of the “natural” approach:
