Northstar Wedding Reception at Zeus

Posted on

Mutants gettin’ married

Marvel’s gay hero Northstar moves fast. He just proposed to his boyfriend in last month’s issue of Astonishing X-Men and today the big day goes down. In issue 51 of the book, the fast-flying mutant settles down with his beau Kyle and by the cover, his mutie colleagues and perhaps much of the rest of the Marvel Universe is attending the fab wedding.

And you can too.

Zeus Comics will host an all-day reception at its location with refreshments and wedding cake culminating in a champagne toast at 7 p.m. Plus, you can purchase a copy of the comic for a keepsake because this really is some history going down. We just hope some bad guy doesn’t ruin it all trying to destroy the world again.

DEETS: Zeus Comics and Collectibles, 4411 Lemmon Ave. 11 a.m.–8 p.m. ComicShop.net/ZeusComics

Zeus, Eagle team for Northstar wedding parties

Posted on

OK, gay comic fans, the wedding of the year is just a week away, and you need to get ready for it.

One week from today, on June 20, Marvel Comics will release the issue featuring the same-sex wedding of gay superdude Northstar, a first for a major comic imprint. And gay-owned Zeus Comics on Lemmon and the webiste MutantaDay.com are celebrating in style. First, you can come by the Dallas Eagle tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. for a send-off bachelor party for Northstar. You’re encouraged to wear your favorite Marvel character costume (hey, if there’s anywhere you won’t look out of place in a costume midweek, it’s the Eagle) and the bar will be serving comic-themed cocktails. There will be contests and giveaways, too.

Then, after Northstar (real name: Jean-Paul Beaubier, so he must be uncut) and his fiance Kyle Jinadu tie the knot next Wednesday, you can come by Zeus to pick up a copy or just to attend the wedding reception, which will pack its own surprises. Beyond that, our lips are sealed.

Marvel’s Northstar is marrying his boyfriend

Posted on

Anyone who has been reading Marvel Comics for the better part of two decades, knows that mutant superhero Northstar bats for our team. But the big news this morning is that not only is he gay, he’s also off the market — or soon will be.

Marvel announced on The View what Richard Neal at Zues Comics on Lemmon has known for a while: That in issue no. 50 of Astonishing X-Men, out tomorrow, Northstar finally pops the question to longtime boyfriend Kyle. That makes Northstar the first major gay comic book hero to marry his same-sex partner.

Maybe if you don’t follow comics, that’s no big deal. But if you do, it’s huge.

“It makes me so happy to unite my community and my passion like this,” says Neal, who is gay.

WATCH: “Harvey and Peter,” a gay wedding video with a Jewish twist

Posted on

I’ve enjoyed this video every time I’ve watched it. The short film Harvey and Peter was  made locally (exec producer is Richard Curtin aka Edna Jean, starring D.J. Smith and Kyle Trentham, director Todd Jenkins, shot at the Granite Bar inside Station 4, etc.) and offers a sweet, gay message (and some hotties!). But more people need to watch it — we should make it go viral.

Listen to the lyrics, too. Enjoy!

WATCH: Conan officiates 1st gay TV wedding

Posted on

This morning when I heard that Conan O’Brien had officiated at a gay wedding broadcast live on his late-night talk show, I was a bit skeptical. I really expected it to be something done for laughs.

And then I watched the video, and instead, it was very sweet. The two men — costume designer Scott Cronick and his partner David Gorshein — are obviously very much in love and were very happy as they exchanged their vows there in front of friends and family (and the national TV audience). And instead of making it into a joke, Conan apparently took his job as officiant very seriously.

I think that having the love these two men obviously have for each other and their shining happiness on their wedding day on TV this way is a great way to fight the homophobia and bigotry that stands in the way of marriage equality nationwide.

Watch for yourself:

Craigslist TV Season 2 premieres with gay wedding webisode

Posted on

Craigslist TV Season 2 premiered yesterday with this webisode, “Getting Married” about Reverend Lorelei Starbuck and her work to help gays and lesbians wed in California. In the show, Rev. Starbuck works with the impossibly gorgeous couple Luca and Michael. Luca’s father had a moment toward the end of the video that will bring a couple of tears.

Sweet stuff.

Remember the gay couple that was vying to win the Crate and Barrel wedding contest?

Jonathan Howard, left, and Gregory Jones

Well, they didn’t win. The couple had hopes of winning the $100,000 Ultimate Wedding Contest. 

Gregory and Jonathan represented the gay contingent big time but finished just a few votes behind the winning couple.

Not too shabby.

Gregory posted the following note on C&B’s Facebook this morning:

Thank you so much for awarding us as your second place couple in the Ultimate Wedding Contest! It has been an amazing experience, and thank you Crate and Barrel for being so supportive of the LGBTQ Community. The link below is to the first slide show we made for the contest! Thank you again!

The couple didn’t walk away empty-handed, though. They won a $7,500 gift card to the store, which probably makes them the envy of all their friends.
