14 Beautiful Photos Celebrating Puerto Rico First-Ever Mass Gay Wedding
Love was certainly in the air in Puerto Rico Sunday.
More than 60 same-sex couples gathered in Puerto Rico’s capital yesterday to exchange vows at the commonwealth’s first-ever mass gay wedding, reports the Associated Press. Though many of the newlyweds are Puerto Rican, others from Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Venezuela participated in what is being hailed by many as a “historic event.”
Given that Puerto Rico is subject to U.S. federal law, same-sex marriages were prohibited until recently. However, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision requiring every state to recognize same-sex marriages in June, Puerto Rico’s governor signed an executive order allowing same-sex marriages and the recognition of such unions on the island. Officials also now allow same-sex couples to adopt children together.
Though there was some opposition to the festivities — Roman Catholic bishop of Arecibo, Monsignor Daniel Fernandez Torres, criticized the ceremony, saying same-sex marriages are “contrary to natural law” — the event received a great deal of support, both locally and worldwide. Ricky Martin, who was in Australia at the time, joined the festivities in spirit, tweeting,“’This day is not only special. This day is huge.’ Love for everyone in Puerto Rico. “
The couples were married before leaders of different religious denominations at the Paseo La Princesa in Old San Juan, where friends, family and LGBT activists and supporters cheered them on. One such group was LGBT Puerto Rico, a community dedicated to protecting equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and transsexual people on the island and beyond. The organization captured and shared some of the sweetest moments from the event on Instagram. Take a look at some of their photos below:

REVIEW: Handel’s Saul – directed by Barry Kosky
Attending a performance as part of the Glyndebourne Festival is more than just a night out at the opera. It is an event.
Glyndebourne is recognized internationally as one of the great opera houses of the world – the festival was founded by John Christie in 1934 and each year presents a program of six operas in its modern 1,200-seat opera house.
Named after the house and gardens in East Sussex in which the opera house has been built, the easiest way to get to a Glyndebourne performance is by train from London to the small village of Lewes. The festival then provides coaches to transport everyone to the estate.
You can tell the experienced Glyndebournians – arriving well before the performance starts, they come equipped with a picnic and make a beeline to secure the prime picnic positions. There are several restaurants on site also, so even if you aren’t quite organized enough to throw together a picnic you won’t starve.
This was my first experience of Glyndebourne in all its glory – I was excited to be seeing a production of Handel’s Saul, directed by Australian opera specialist Barry Kosky.
Kosky is renowned for his theatrical and over-the-top productions and he brings all of that flair to the dramatic masterpiece of Saul.
Handel composed this work in 1738 and it was first performed in London in 1739. It presents an interpretation of the biblical stories of the King of Israel, his son Jonathan, and David – the giant-killer.
Kosky’s production is visually stunning – a striking use of colour (and absence of it) against a black background, an eerie dreamscape transporting the action to a vaguely Elizabethan period. The sloping stage presents some challenges for the performers, but brings the action close to the audience. There’s also an irreverent humor throughout the production which is impossible to resist.
The story of Jonathan and David is often pointed to as one of the most homoerotic relationships within the biblical stories. Kosky embraces and celebrates this deep connection between the two men.
The cast is strong – Christopher Purves is commanding as Saul the mad king; Lucy Crowe is engaging as the wilful daughter Merab; Sophie Bevan brings out the girlish enthusiasm of Michal; and Benjamin Hulett as the High Priest delivers a jester-like insanity to proceedings. I would have liked a bit more from Paul Appleby as Jonathan – excellent singing but not quite with the same level of character commitment as the rest of the cast. However it’s Iestyn Davies as David who commands attention – the English-born countertenor has extraordinary range and a rich, warm tone that is beautifully haunting to listen to.
There are some incredible moments in this production, one of the obvious stand-outs is the dead march – the funeral of Saul and his son Jonathan – it packs an emotional punch that is breathtaking.
The Glyndebourne Festival is a unique way to experience opera. Kosky’s interpretation of Saul is an opera that sets the standard for how good opera can be.
Saul is being performed as part of the Glyndebourne Festival until 29 August 2015.

Will You Accept Dolce & Gabbana’s Late Apology For Denouncing Gay Adoption?
“I’ve done some soul-searching. I’ve talked to Stefano a lot about this. I’ve realized that my words were inappropriate, and I apologize. They are just kids. You don’t need labels, baby labels.
I think everybody chooses for themselves. I don’t know everything about IVF, but I love it when people are happy. It’s like medicine. Science has been put on the table to help people.”

RuPaul Runner Up Courtney Act Wants Your ‘Body Parts’ In Sexy New Music Video: WATCH
RuPaul’s Drag Race season six runner up Courtney Act is out with a sinfully delicious new single that sounds like the love child of Olivia Newton-John’s “Physical” and Kylie Minogue’s “Sexercise.”
“Body Parts” is the latest single from Act’s first EP Kaleidoscope, which was released back in July.
Act, who is no stranger to catchy-as-hell tracks (remember last year’s “Mean Gays”?), had this to say about her new song:
“I wrote with Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters) and Sam Sparro about gender and sex. It’s about having relations with straight-identifying men when your body parts don’t match those of a biological female…The video is really sexy and made me want to touch myself when I watched it. I’ve worked with The Squared Division many times over the years. I was so excited and honored to create this video with them. Its so slick and sexy.”
Slick and sexy indeed.
