J Crew Profiles Gay Couple in 'Wedding Album' for First Time
J Crew's website has a "Wedding Album" section on its website and yesterday for the first time profiled a gay couple.
"I'm one of the grooms, "Benjamin Moore writes us. "They stepped up big time."
Moore and his husband Ray headline the section with a profile link to an interview with the couple about their wedding, which took place at Chateau du Soudun, "a magnificent 11th century castle" in a small countryside town three hours south of Paris.
Congrats to the couple, and to J Crew for stepping out.
My dream wedding.
Especially since it's eliciting the following responses from my fellow 'mo coworkers:
"SOMEONE WATER BOARD ME NOW!"
"happy/rich/gays make me puke"
"I SAW! already planning on jumping off a bridge at lunch"

Benjamin Moore, it seems like only yesterday he could paint the town red. ;-)

Scorpio Sky is the wrestler who thinks it's OK to stir up hatred and violence against gay people.
Please send this fake Christian a Tweet on @ScorpioSky and tell him what you think about his views.
Also, his employer's email is Feedback@Kdoc.tv. Let them hear from you too.

I think its awesome! but they seem to be playing it on both sides...l the photo shows the guys (congrats!) but the group shot shows a girl, from what I can see, in a white dress behind - anyone who wants to read that as a bride could, if they dont know the context.

If you look at the pics, Its sad because they don't even hold hands in the pictures.They are always several feet apart.

Finally, the skies opened up and equality shone down. lol
In all seriousness, good for them, though.

Same sex marriage is not legal in France, so it wasn't really a wedding, rather a "PACS" or partnership ceremony as they call it over there. Good for J Crew, but they should have filmed a wedding some place where it is actually legal.
