The Gay UK Issue 3 Marriage | Page 5

EDITOR’S LETTER Well they say 3rd times the charm, and here we are on Issue 3. A bit of a same-sex marriage special. As you will have seen from our front cover we commissioned our very own gay marriage photo shoot, introducing the beautiful Matthew Carey and Shane Huggins. It’s been a long time in the making but marriage equality is here (well nearly). Peter Tatchell writes about how the fight for equality started in 1992 and Thomas Duggins talks about the inequality that still exists, within the law as it stands today. We’ve come a long way, but there is still much to be done. Warwickshire Pride’s very own Daniel Browne discusses social equality which is a stark reminder why we need to keep our eyes open and our voices loud. In this issue we look at all things marriage, including the do and do nots of holding a wedding, a wedding planner, best places to get married in the UK, where to honeymoon afterwards and how to keep the sex fresh and alive. In terms of interviews well we’re talking to Martha Wash, one of the original Weather Girls, Kavana, Adam Rickitt, Doctor Jessen, Kian from Westlife and Sunday Times Best Selling Author Rebecca Chance and Lesley Joseph. It’s all a bit good to be honest. So enjoy the read and as always we welcome your thoughts and opinions. Our contact details are below.
