Not that it affects any of our rights, but the California Supreme Court just ruled that the state’s constitution cannot uphold the banning of same-sex marriages. However, this doesn’t mean the war is over. There is a chance that a state-wide constitutional amendment banning gay marriage could be approved by voters in the November elections. Doors open, boys!
A lot of debate rages in the gay community about whether it’s worth divesting our energy into a societal institution that is flawed to begin with, but decisions like this go a long way toward giving us equal status in this country. Now if only I lived in California…and had a husband….this would be doubly exciting!

California doesn’t have a residency requirement for marriage licenses (unlike Massachusetts)

TNG started off as a DC-based blog/website for alternative queer culture, events and commentary, but we've realized our writing and concept isn't applicable only to DC. We're working to expand into other cities throughout the US. Here's how you can help:* Become a city events editor.
In order to be a good fit for helping us out, you have to meet two criteria: you need to be prepared to spend some time at this, and you need to be frustrated with the current status of queer culture in your town. If you think you have what it takes, please let us know by emailing info@thenewgay.net.* Write for TNG.
