how is this a gay ring...it is a photo of a thoughtful man holding a ring...presumably a wedding ring yet nothing about the photo makes him a gay man...is he one of the grooms, the best man. what difference anyway!

picking and choosing who can _________(fill in your own answer) and who cannot_________(fill in your own answer) is a dangerous game that can one day leave the "you" one the receiving end of "cannot". That aside....what is there not to get all warm and fuzzy feeling about a couple in love taking vows?? love is love...it is beautiful and radiates to those around them. Blessings to the new grooms and groom and may they never know the other side of legal marriage...divorce.

People's perception of images can be diametrically opposed - no need for concern though.

We've found that many same sex couples choose traditional wedding rings.......and they choose to wear their wedding rings on the traditional wedding ring finger!!

Just because we're
Gay and in Love and wish to spend the rest of our lives together DOES NOT mean that every bit of our "symbolism" requires a rainbow!
We're queer, we're human, we're loving, productive members of American society and only wish to be recognized with the same rights as "straights".
