Yesterday, 11/18/23, marked the 20th anniversary of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court's decision that same-sex couples have the right to legally marry in Massachusetts. It was a joyful day! I remember how I felt when the decision was announced.

On May 17, 2004, exactly 6 months later, on the first day it was legal to do so, Peg & I married

I had to buy a congrats card for my friends wedding the other day and was surprised to see a gay wedding card with two men on the front that said “congrats Mr. And Mr.” I was so excited even though it was just one card. I then looked for any lesbian wedding cards and there was also just one, but it never once mentioned two women. It literally said “this union is more than just a marriage, it’s a collaboration and a partnership” LIKE WHAT LOL. They can blatantly put “Mr. And Mr.” With two men holding hands on the front of the card, but a lesbian wedding is a collaboration and a partnership with no mention of them both being women. I also only know it was for two women because the section said For Two Brides. Like fucking Christ 🙄. It’s still trash that there was only one gay marriage card despite it being brave enough to say it was for two men, but god forbid lesbians get anything.

Japan’s highest court says same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional

A Japanese high court ruled that it was “unconstitutional” not to allow same-sex marriage in the country, in a first appeal court ruling on the matter, Japanese media reported on Thursday.

Sapporo High Court in northern Japan issued the ruling, while dismissing the plaintiffs’ claim for damage to the national government, according to media reports.

Homosexuality has been legal in Japan since 1880, and the country is relatively liberal compared to some other Asian nations. Only one place in Asia has legalised same-sex marriage – Taiwan.

In 2015, Tokyo passed an ordinance allowing same-sex couples to obtain “partnership certificates,” giving them some of the same rights as married heterosexual couples. Since then, dozens of municipalities have passed ordinances unofficially recognising same-sex relationships. But activists say Japan’s LGBT community still faces prejudice and the country has yet to pass a national anti-discrimination law that protects LGBT people.

Today is the day Peg and I married, all the way back in 2004 (on the 1st day of marriage equality here in Massachusetts, the 1st U.S. state where it became possible for same-sex couples to marry).

This is my favorite image (cr. Laurie Swope).

Ancient wedding

From my Viking-Celtic fantasy AU story.

Viking King Quentin and Prince Peter (in my AU, Peter is the son of Anthony - king of the Celtic people of Eire). Quentin is an alchemist and powerful wizard, and Peter from birth possessed superhuman strength, which he could not control. His father, Anthony, was looking for a wise mentor who could teach Peter responsibility and control of power, and he did not expect that it would be mysterious Quentin, the younger brother of his late enemy, King Igor, with whom he fought for many years. But perhaps the relationship between the new king and the young prince can bring peace between the two warring kingdoms? Who knows...

*** I paid special attention to clothing and jewelry, mixing Viking, Celtic, original Quentin's-Peter's suits elements with my fantasy imagination. ***

Quentin does 'seiðr', the secret magic of knowledge, wisdom and enchantment. Read more about 'seiðr' from our article <

8 Do’s and Don’ts of Same-Sex Wedding Planning

In some ways, same-sex wedding planning isn’t very different than planning a wedding between a man and woman. Generally, there’s a ceremony with vows, followed by a party with toasts. Many of the finer details, however, can be quite different for LGBTQ couples than for straight counterparts.

Here are the do’s and don’ts for same-sex wedding planning.

Do throw tradition to the wind and have the proposal of your dreams. If you or your partner feel passionately about a traditional proposal, with one of you surprising the other and brandishing an engagement ring, then go for it! For other couples, each may want a turn to ask for a hand in marriage, so one may propose one day and their partner proposes to them at another time. Still, some couples may opt out of the proposal ritual altogether and choose to simply decide to get married, then begin to plan a wedding.

Don’t assume that only one of you is “allowed” to wear an engagement ring.

More and more same-sex couples elect to purchase engagement rings for each other these days, rather than the tradition of only one member of the couple wearing an engagement ring. Whether you and your partner go this route, or choose to have only one partner wear an engagement ring, know that how you do this is totally up to the two of you. Buy matching rings, pick out rings together and exchange them on the spot or surprise your partner with a ring. Whatever works for you two is perfectly acceptable.

Do be sure your wedding venue is LGBTQ-friendly.

The world of wedding venues for all couples is wide open now, and same-sex couples are hosting beautiful weddings in venues that range from restaurants to rustic barns. Now that same-sex weddings are more common, there are a wealth of online reviews for venues from gay and lesbian couples. Be sure you vet your venues before requesting more information to be sure they will enthusiastically accommodate your wedding.

Don’t think you have to put aside your religion or culture when selecting an officiant.

While it’s true many sects of popular religions like Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Hinduism condemn same-sex marriage, that doesn’t mean there aren’t clergy in those religions who happily perform same-sex weddings. For religious couples, it may take a bit more digging, but with persistence, you and your partner will likely find a minister, rabbi or priest to marry you.

Do take advantage of evolving same-sex marriage etiquette and adapt traditions.

The modern wedding is something of a hodge-podge of traditions, with couples borrowing rituals from other cultures and religions freely. Same-sex weddings have always marched to the beat of their own drum in this way, so shop around! Adapt rituals from straight weddings like unity candles and processional order, or create unique ways to symbolize your union. Feel free to craft the ceremony of your dreams.

Don’t feel like you must wear a wedding dress or a traditional tux.

Just because you’re a bride doesn’t mean you want to wear—or even feel comfortable wearing—a wedding gown. The same goes for grooms: You’re not relegated to traditional black formal wear. Same-sex couples are leading the wedding fashion world with creative and unique wedding attire like bridal suits or shorts for grooms. Think about what makes you feel special and comfortable, then shop for wedding attire that fits the bill.

Do be as unique as you’d like with engagement, bachelor, bachelorette parties and wedding showers.

What does a bridal shower become when there’s no bride? An awesome celebration of love and marriage with close friends and family—no matter what you wish to call it. Don’t be shy about breaking the mold when it comes to your pre-wedding parties and showers. Name them whatever you’d like, invite whoever you’d like without regard to gender or “side” of the wedding party and have fun. Some popular trends for same-sex couples include inclusive wedding showers (i.e. one shower for the couple, rather than a shower for one person in the couple) and co-ed, combined bachelor or bachelorette parties.

Don’t think your wedding party must be divided by gender.

In fact, same-sex weddings are much more likely than opposite-sex weddings to include men and women on both sides of the wedding party. Think about the folks who’ve supported you and your relationship, and ask them to participate. Forget about being super matchy-matchy in terms of the number of attendants, too. No one will fault you if the parties are a little lopsided.
