Juan Ramon Guerrero, 22, and his 32-year-old boyfriend, Christopher “Drew” Leinonen were killed in the shooting at the gay nightclub in Orlando. They were planning to get married. https://www.instagram.com/p/8HetiYkvDo/?taken-by=juang0628 They were together for two years and Guerrero's family talked about how much their son loved his boyfriend and planned to get married. “They were honestly so in love. They were soul mates. You can tell by how they looked at each other,” Aryam Guerrero said. “It’s a little comforting that they died together.” “If it’s not...

Bishop Melvin Talbert and Pastor Val Rosenquist of United Methodist Church (UMC) have officiated the ceremony of a gay couple although they know the church won't agree. The bishop and the pastor married John Romano and Jim Wilborne, both 52, in an official ceremony on Saturday. Their act comes as a statement of disagreement with the anti-gay practices of the Church. “I have to make a choice between my church and God, and I am choosing God,” the bishop explained, saying that policies of...

A British same-sex married couple were on honeymoon when one of the spouses died. David and Marco Bulmer-Rizzi married in UK and spent their honeymoon in Australia where David died after an accident. Authorities released an Australian death certificate that stated "never married." Marco Blumer-Rizzi was told that “not one of the drop-down options on the computer.” This happened because Australia is one of the five countries (Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa) where the UK policy doesn't enable Britons to get UK-style death...

I used to be in love with a tremendously wild boy. In his veins, even in those that I adored, were running more frenzy and lout ideas than some blood. Never would he stop kidding me about our marriage plans. Every morning his favorite first words for the day were: “Baby, Joe has been very obedient, won’t you give him a morning kiss?” Surely, you can guess what “Joe” stands for. The rest of his morning repertoire included: “When will you marry...

This thing just blew my mind when I found it to be true. My parents have hated gays since I can remember and I have been educated in the same spirit for my entire life. I have always been told by my father that gays are an abomination and that they don’t even deserve to be called human beings. It all got worse lately, since the legalization of the same-sex marriage in increasingly more states and countries. It was...

I was 22 and in nursing school. Life was pretty hum-drum and defined by my classwork, my clinical rotations, and studying all the time.  I really had no social life, no way to go out and meet new people.  Oh, sure, as a lesbian I was a bit reserved and guarded as to who I would hang out with, and the only other member of the tribe was 10 years older than I, and super butchy.  She wasn’t my...

While the world is spending much energy and effort to redefine marriage and spread the acceptance of love everywhere, there are still certain countries that are in the dark ages.  Take Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin, and his response to the entire concept of gay marriage.  In 2014, Putin was quoted as stating that Russia needed to be “cleansed” of homosexuality in order to increase the birth rate.  To many others in the world, this statement has been met with...

This is actually at least equally confusing for me as it is for you, if not more. I am Jason, a 42 year old teacher from New York and I have been married with my lovely wife Samantha for the past 12 years. She has been the love of my life and I will always remember her that way for the rest of my life. I say this because one and a half years ago she died in a...

Can you love two human beings with the same honesty and intensity? I didn’t believed that for a long time and I have always considered myself as man of principles, constantly aware of what is right and what is wrong and what you should or should not do. This is me, until one year ago. Since then, I am a completely different man and I still don’t know if for the better or for the worse. I am Adrien, 48...

So, you are here to know what happened then with Luca and his fiance, the main characters of the previous part of our story When Superman turns into Groomzilla? Don't waste time and read the following continuation. Before I knew it, the guest list to our engagement party had reached one hundred and was still growing. Luca had decided that our caffè was too small a venue to host the thing and had convinced our old boss, Mr. Berluti, to close...

Here is a question: how often do you hear from straight people that the gay stuff is banned by the Bible? Oh, I bet pretty often! But here is a thing: they often judge others, but don't follow the Bible themselves. Scott Bateman created a nice picture demonstrating the real things. After reading this scheme you will have something to think about. The moral is - don't judge gay people (mentioning the Bible) unless your own life is sinless...
