My Gay Dating Guide is Coming Soon

EDIT: The Gay Dating Guide has been released. Get it HERE now

I have finally finished writing my gay dating guide, called the Gay Dating Blueprint. After a bit of delay it is officially done and will be launched tomorrow! I've been getting emails asking when it would be available; now it is.

One reason I wrote the guide is because there weren't that many guides geared toward my generation of gay guys. Many guides are outdated or geared toward older guys. I wanted to find one with a fresh perspective, without all the cliches or stereotypes that would just give me practical, proactive gay dating advice.

So I wrote my own for myself initially but decided to share it with my readers. It will be up for download so be on the lookout for it.

New York Marriage Equality Bill Passes!

From the NY Times: 
"Lawmakers voted late Friday to legalize same-sex marriage, making New York the largest state where gay and lesbian couples will be able to wed and giving the national gay-rights movement new momentum from the state where it was born.
The marriage bill, whose fate was uncertain until moments before the vote, was approved 33 to 29 in a packed but hushed Senate chamber. Four members of the Republican majority joined all but one Democrat in the Senate in supporting the measure after an intense and emotional campaign aimed at the handful of lawmakers wrestling with a decision that divided their friends, their constituents and sometimes their own homes. 

With his position still undeclared, Senator Mark J. Grisanti, a Republican from Buffalo who had sought office promising to oppose same-sex marriage, told his colleagues he had agonized for months before concluding he had been wrong. 

“I apologize for those who feel offended,” Mr. Grisanti said, adding, “I cannot deny a person, a human being, a taxpayer, a worker, the people of my district and across this state, the State of New York, and those people who make this the great state that it is the same rights that I have with my wife.” 

Senate approval was the final hurdle for the same-sex marriage legislation, which was approved last week by the Assembly. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed the measure at 11:55 p.m., and the law will go into effect in 30 days, meaning that same-sex couples could begin marrying in New York by late July."

 The gay marriage bill has finally passed the state senate. The religious right wing lunatics like that NOM have finally met their waterloo which was long overdue. This could greatly help the momentum in the marriage equality movement throughout the country.

 

 It is a great day to be a New Yorker, gay or straight. More next time.
