News Guyd: First gay wedding in France, 29th May

0

The first gay wedding in France will take place in Montpellier on the 29th of May. The city has been long known as the most gay-friendly place in France, so it should come as no surprise that the first gay marriage is to be held there.

The lucky couple are Vincent Autin (40), president of Gay Pride Montpellier,  and his longterm partner Bruno (30). They will be wed by the mayor Hélène Mandroux. The road to gay marriage in France wasn’t an easy one. While many other countries in Western  Europe had already legalised gay marriage, and in some cases adoption by gay parents, ‘the land of freedom, equality and brotherhood’ has had many opposing the law.

For months the streets in Paris were filled with protesters against gay marriage, but fortunately president François Hollande made good on his election promises and supported the gay marriage law, which passed only recently.

As longtime supporters of marriage equality, the news couldn’t have been better for the couple who have been together for seven years. It also comes with great timing as they will be tying the knot days before the Montpellier Gay Pride, with the main event on Saturday, June 1st. They will finally be able to celebrate Pride as husbands.

In the words of Vincent: “We are going to say ‘YES,’ I will finally be able to tell him ‘I DO,’ he will finally be able to tell me so as well. Thousands of couples all across the country will finally be able to say their ‘I DO’s.’ It’s a great victory of love over hate!”

We wish the happy couple many years of happiness and hope that slowly but surely the rest of the world will follow in the footsteps of countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, France and others.

Ain’t nothing like a Dame. Mirren, that is.

Dame Helen Mirren agreed to have tea with 10-year-old Oliver Burton, who has Down Syndrome and has been battling cancer.

Burton was diagnosed with leukemia in 2006, and was recently given a terminal diagnosis, according to a Facebook page set up to support him. But he had one dying wish: To have afternoon tea with the Queen and visit Buckingham Palace, as reported by the Leicester Mercury.

A national trust designed to support cancer-stricken children requested the actual Queen Elizabeth II — who couldn’t work it into her schedule.

So Mirren stepped forward to invite him to the Gielgud Theatre to see her play the Queen — and invited him backstage to share tea and cake and to meet the corgis who star in the play with her. There were even footmen. And naturally, she was in costume the entire time.

“Our incredibly brave Ollie has Tea with The Queen!” the National/Regional Children’s Tumor Leukaemia and Cancer Trust posted on their page.

Multiple Attacks on Gay Men in NYC, Hours After Rally

0

From The Advocate.com

A nightlife promoter was assaulted in lower Manhattan on Monday night, the same day a rally against anti-LGBT violence was held faurther uptown. The brutal beating, still under investigation, occurred at Avenue D and East Fourth Street in the East Village neighborhood.

According to NightlifeGay.com, the victim was Dan Contarino, a former promoter of a popular Friday night party at Shampoo nightclub in Philadelphia. Witnesses who eventually came to the victim’s aid are reporting that the attacker was kicking him while screaming antigay slurs. Contarino posted a photo (pictured) of his injuries on his Facebook timeline along with the following status updates:

“THANKS FOR CALLS…. GAY BASHED LAST NITE…. back from small surgery…. CHEST XRAYS THIS AM…. suspect still at large… police n media waiting to interview me… U JUST WANNA CRY N MOVE ON….”

As well as, “UGH…. THIS IS JUST AS BRUTAL AS the ATTACK…. 3 hours… 8 detective interviews… now waiting for Hate Crimes Unit main interview… THEN BACK TO HOSPITAL….”

The beating is the sixth in a string of seperate local attacks, and comes only days after a gay man, Mark Carson, was murdered in the nearby Greenwich Village neighborhood. Contarino’s attack is still under investiation by the NYPD, who have yet to determine it to be a hate crime.

UPDATE: Reports have come in of a gay couple, 41 and 42, who were also attacked in the late hours last night in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. According to NBC New York:

“The couple was walking on Broadway between Prince and Houston streets at about 5 a.m. when two men started yelling antigay remarks in English and Spanish. The victims are Hispanic. The men were both punched, and one suffered an eye injury, sources said. Police said two men, 32 and 33, were arrested and face a charge of assault as a hate crime.”

This brings the number of New York City gay bashings in the past 30 days to an alarming seven.
