(Prudent Press Agency)--- LA’s Revenge Is… and host Giuliana Rancic celebrated the return of marriage equality in California with the launch of the Revenge Is... “All Love Is Equal” tees at Kitson Melrose on November 21. The event also launched the highly debated petition signature drive to put a Repeal Prop 8 initiative on the 2010 CA ballot. The E! News anchor and reality star Rancic, a heterosexual Catholic, was the first to sign the petition stating that "it is not my place to deny anyone the basic right of marriage.”

The packed capacity event at Kitson Melrose was a smash success with a faux wedding ceremony performed by Hal Sparks as minister with Missi Pyle and Smith & Pyle band member Shawnee Smith as the eternally betrothed. It was a light counterpoint to the serious purpose of the event expressed so eloquently by Rancic, Revenge Is… creator Marilyn Barrett, and comedienne Susanne Whang. The wedding "ceremony" was written and produced by Ashley Terrill with Brent Wang of EggsLosAngeles creating the bouquets.

As this site states, Chicago is the nation's third largest city and boasts a large and vibrant gay community. Like New York or Atlanta in their regions, Chicago serves as the Midwest's cosmopolitan hub and attracts young and old alike, and all of them are looking to escape to the big city. Gay life (and gay bars) in Chicago is mostly concentrated in two areas: Boystown (really "East Lakeview") and Andersonville, which is farther up the city's north side. Bars and clubs have one of two licenses: most close at 2am (3am on Saturdays) and a few stay open after-hours until 4am (5am on Saturdays). If you're up for a late night, you'll find the after-hours bars packed after the other bars close.

(Prudent Press Agency)--- It's been a long time since a new way of gay online dating came along that provided a fresh take on a male to male, or female to female relationship. It wasn't until new-tier dating websites allowing people to create "mutually beneficial relationships" opened their doors to gay and lesbian relationships that gay father/son relationships have been structured withing every member profile listed on these intriguing sites...

There have never been more online dating sites than exist today, as even though the shrinking economy has downsized many industries, online social networking sites, especially dating sites, continue to expand into new and varried sub-sects. Among the most intriguing of the newer niche dating sites are what is being widely called "Sugar Daddy Dating" sites, in which a usually older male can make a perfectly legal, safe, and mutually benificial arrangement with an often younger, but always attractive female.

(Prudent Press Agency)---Worldwide, as we speak, men and women, young and old, are agonizing on their private secret: ‘I’m gay, and I can’t hide it anymore’. People who just want to live a life as a regular couple with someone of the same sex. Many of us have family and friends who consider homosexuality as ‘abnormal’ or ‘wrong’, so it’s natural for people who are gay to have reservations about telling those special to them how they feel.

The first thing to consider: who NEEDS to know? You aren’t obligated to tell anyone it doesn’t concern. Who you tell comes down to several things. Firstly, who do YOU feel you want to know? Who do you want to talk to about your love life, your attractions, your relationship ups and downs? These people will be close friends, possibly family, too.

Consider your current lifestyle. Do you have a partner now? If so, is it becoming more important to share them more in your daily life, with other people special to you? Often, people in love, straight or gay, want that person involved in their life more as a relationship grows. When in a relationship, we like to bring our partner to special occasions, celebrate, have support during the bad times. Maybe you wish to live together, and have realized that those around you will need help understanding this. Some people choose to tell their loved ones they are gay because they don’t wish to feel that they are ‘hiding’ anymore. These are all ‘turning points’ that will lead to a person wanting to let others in their life know that they are gay.

(Prudent Press Agency)--- Los Angeles, California -- Same sex marriage in California is a hot topic as California voters decide this November whether the state's constitution should exclude gay couples from marrying in California.

An informative article on the history behind same sex marriage in California details the events leading up to the California Supreme Court's historic decision to grant gay couples the right to marry and the challenge to the court's decision which will come on the November 2008 General Election Ballot.

(Prudent Press Agency)--- London -- New consumer research released today shows that the UK's gay and lesbian consumers offer marketers significant opportunities to grow their revenues during the UK's worst economic conditions in more than 60 years.

The 'Out Now 2008 Millivres Gay Market Study' is the most comprehensive analysis ever of the almost 3 million gays and lesbians in the UK.

The research shows this group earned over £81 billion in 2007.

Gay consumers spent a whopping £7.1 billion pounds alone buying goods on the internet last year, and put a total of £23.5 billion pounds on their credit cards during a year of enthusiastic shopping.

(Prudent Press Agency)---Miami, FL -- An increasing number of gay baby boomers are packing lighter these days, as the appeal of luxury boutique travel and clothing-optional vacations has developed into a fast-growing niche market. For some, clothing-optional vacations are about getting closer to nature, while for others it is an opportunity to experience a renewed sense of freedom.

Nude travel has become a $440 million industry - more than double what it was ten years ago, according the American Association for Nude Recreation. The business has increasingly gone upscale, trading rustic nudist camps for luxury resorts and cruises.

(Prudent Press Agency)---For newcomers to the gay scene there can be a "Wow!" factor like no other. The scene has a lot going for it, and they can feel like the cats that got the cream. The intention of this article is to make sure that cream doesn't turn sour.

Along with all the excellence, the gay scene is notorious for illicit drugs, sexual promiscuity, and for ruining relationships. It is a place where it is all too easy to go just that one step further than you intended - a step that you may later regret. To enjoy the gay scene safely, here are just a few things you need to be fully aware of:

Predators:

(Prudent Press Agency)---There are few set rules to this often harrowing experience, mostly there are merely guidelines based on the experiences of others, but from the knowledge of many of those experiences, including my own, this article has been written with an aim to help those considering "coming out".

Of the few rules there are, one hard and fast one is to always do what you think is best for you - but to do it considerately. Another is that before even contemplating coming out to anyone, especially to your family, you do need to be absolutely sure in yourself that you really are gay. Don't base anything on just a few pleasurable experiences you may have had with someone of the same sex. Straight people do sometimes experiment (as many as two in every five males will have same-sex at some time in their lives - statistics that are a blessing to many a gay man) and they do often enjoy it - so be thoroughly sure before dropping what to some people might be a bombshell! Few will thank you later for a: "Whoops! I got it wrong!"

(Prudent Press Agency)---I guess this is a question a lot of young men will have asked themselves during their confusing adolescent years; it's certainly one that every gay man will at some time have had to tackle, and come to terms with on discovering the true answer. Of course, there are the lucky ones - the majority - those people for whom their sexuality has never been in any doubt. They are the very people who, by their heterosexual appetite and acknowledged prowess with the opposite sex, may have initiated that desperate question in other minds. But to not be one of that majority, to not have the same appetite for the opposite sex, does not immediately make anyone gay.

(Prudent Press Agency)-- A guy attracted to his own sex, but who does not act upon his desire, has come to the (Kabbalistic) group and tried to unite with others, raise his desire for the spiritual over all disturbances, and participate in sharing the wisdom. He soon discovered that he cannot be a part of the group, and that he needs to connect through the Internet – this is the advice of Kabbalists for this particular situation. My question is the following: What should such a person feel and do in this situation? How could it be that the Creator brought him to the group, and now, the Creator is kicking him out? Does this person need to understand that he was born with a flaw in this world? A society that strives to rise above the physical sees him as being unfit to bond with, but he had no choice in being a homosexual. Didn’t the Creator make him like this? How can he explain to his friends that the reason he is withdrawing from the group is not that he is no longer interested, but because it’s just something that needs to be done?

Other well-known websites such as YouTube, Craigslist and personal web logs also were found to be more popular among GLB individuals.

These are some of the highlights of a nationwide online survey of 2,541 U.S. adults (ages 18 and over) conducted, by Harris Interactive®, a global market research and consulting firm, in conjunction with Witeck-Combs Communications, Inc., a strategic public relations and marketing communications firm with special expertise in the GLBT market.

(Prudent Press Agency)-- New Mintel Report Highlights Skyrocketing Industry Opportunities in Growing Segment
Chicago (May 15, 2006)- With more than $76.5 billion in expenditures, the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) segment is a booming travel market. Predicted to increase by more than $20 billion over the next five years, the GLBT market provides strong opportunities for companies to capture a new audience.

“The GLBT community has a greater willingness to spend their dollars on travel than most mainstream consumers,” said Chris Haack, analyst for Mintel. “There is a cultural affinity that tends to insulate it from the shocks that affect the general traveler. Whether communicating with GLBT singles, couples or families, industry players simply need to be aware of each group’s specific needs.”
