Same-sex unions hit Bride's magazine Story's a first for top wedding publication

Bill Werde, New York Times Tuesday, July 29, 2003

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After 70 years of helping brides walk down the aisle, Bride's magazine has crossed a threshold of its own. The September-October issue of Bride's, a Conde Nast publication, is on newsstands now, and it contains a full-page article on same-sex weddings. ... [snip] Gay and lesbian couples are interviewed about why they want their friends and community to recognize their unions publicly. The article also offers advice on how to be a good guest, encouraging readers "not to panic" if they are invited to a gay wedding. ...[snip] "We looked at what was happening in the wedding industry," said Millie Martini Bratten, the magazine's editor in chief and the editorial director of Conde Nast's Bridal Group. [snip]"And we were answering more readers' questions: 'If two women were getting married, what's the appropriate attire?' " ....

This is some sick, twisted sh--.

I would encourage Brides-to-be not to give this magazine a dime. There ought to be a boycott on it.

I'm tired of everyone feeling they have to embrace the degenerate, sodomite, filth.

"He who embraceth same-sex unions, embraceth not me."

"Yea, verily I say unto you, vanity, vanity, all is freaking vanity"--or merely "all is freaking"

"And, lo!, the union guests went up, and they were clothed in their own nakedness; but the eyes of those that beheld were blinded by the alternative light of the worship of diversity and that which glistened off the slime on the cesspool of wickedness shining round about them; and they were acknowledged to be clothed in satins, laces, and fine clothing fully equal to that of the Emperor."

Translation:

1. I wouldn't touch Brides Maggot Zine.

2. This freaks me out.

3. Appropriate clothing for such a Cell Abrasion.

Good idea, especially because wedding magazines cost around $6 or so (somewhat more than fashion magazines). Most of the magazines' income comes from advertisements, the prices for which depend on circulation volume.

Doesn't matter....they're just hoping to make money by going along with the charade that there is such a thing as gay marriage. And there isn't.

Marriage is between a man and a woman, and anything other than that is not marriage. They can flap their arms, hold their breath, and bang their feet on the floor, but they cannot change that fact.

Totally agree. What a bunch of cowards at Brides Magazine as well as the networks. Gayness is being shoved down our throats and none of them have the courage to ignore it and move on. If you listen to news and catch the previews of sitcoms you would think half the population is gay.
Sorry, I don't buy it.

Since when was Bride magazine considered a format for a church wedding anyhow?
My blacklist keeps growing.

Do they really think that lesbians give two hoots how they look, even on their BIG DAY? Give any of their calling a good look-over and it becomes evident just why they are lesbians to begin with!

If a hetero looked as awful as most of the lesbians do, they would be crucified by a fashion magazine. It's going to be interesting to see how they can make up a fat-a**, spike-haired dyke into Barbie-for-a-Day, complete with strapless wedding dress and tiara!

I'm sitting here with an upset stomach and reading this just made it worse. I'm sick and tired of the homosexual lifestyle being shoved down my throat! Since when does minority rule in this country? One would think that their so called lifestyle is the way most people are in our country. All forms of media must stop catering to this deviant form of behavior.

Yuck---The blonde looks like Roseanne and the brunette--well, who cares what she looks like. The most important action one could take when encountering a picture like this is to turn the page, quickly!

I now know who the brunette looks like--a real-life version of the little guy on the animated series "The Critic", Jon Lovitz's (?) alter-ego. Well, it's nice that the groom almost looks like a guy, or at least a cartoon character.
