Mexico City Celebrates First Gay Marriages, Argentina Judge Invalidates Country’s First And Lone Gay Marriage, Gays Reach Out To Outed Roy Ashburn But Is It Worth The Effort, German Male Gymnasts, Stars On Ice Sponsors Suggest Johnny Weir Not Family Friendly, Jamie Salle Bashes Weir, Weir Takes Solace In A Foot Massager

On Thursday, despite intense opposition from the Roman Catholic Church, Mexico City’s gay marriage measure took effect, four couples marrying in the columned courtyard of the 300 year old Municipal Palace. The first couple, Judith Vazquez and Lol Kin Castaneda, wed by Judge Hegel Cortes, the 44 year old Vazquez saying “I am overjoyed to finally be making this real. A different world is possible.” And to the criticism, evident by a small group of protestors gathered outside the Palace, Vazquez said she recognized the fight for equality was nowhere near won, adding “I am dreaming, but with my eyes wide open.”

Meanwhile, Monday a federal judge in Buenos Aires nullified that country’s first gay marriage, insisting that “no elements existed” for the union to form a marriage. Judge Felix Gustavo de Igarzabel ruled that no marriage occurred “because of the absence of the institution’s structural elements” – a man and a woman – and he declared the ceremony invalid. He ordered the two men, Damian Bernath and Jorge Salazar, wed on March 3rd, to turn over any marriage licenses they received from the civil registry office or face harsh monetary penalties.

A report on gay advocate groups reaching out to Roy Ashburn the California state senator who came out last week under pressure after being arrested for drunk driving, leaving a popular gay club in the capital city of Sacramento. The conciliatory gestures have angered many who view Ashburn’s anti-gay voting record as an indication that he and his political career cannot be redeemed, and that he will not act as an ally for gay rights.

GLAAD reports that an anonymous source suggests the sponsors of The Stars On Ice tour, which include IMG Entertainment and Smuckers, are refusing to allow Johnny Weir perform because he is “not family friendly” – obvious code for an objection to his perceived sexuality.

2002 Olympic gold medalist Canadian figure skater and personal failure Jamie Salle takes time to bash Weir, talking to a guy who loves a denim vest, saying he is “a bad representative for men’s figure skating” and his adoration of Russian fur is “anti-American.”

Meanwhile, a sneak peak at an upcoming episode of Be Good Johnny Weir shows why Weir is beyond fabulous, Weir ( who possesses a wonderful pedicure), a foot massager, and the nearest he comes to “real, unbridled, passionate, sweaty dirty sex.”
