Issue : September 2010

Welcome to September 2010!

There is a lot going on for same-sex couples these days, including international progress in the advance of marriage equality, growing support for the end of homophobia and racism of all kinds. There is also our day-to-day living that ranges from making our children feel safe in school to figuring out which home repairs we need to make. All of it, and much more, is addressed in this month's edition.

Also in this issue is information about the upcoming celebration of our first anniversary! You don't want to be left out! (HINT: If you're not yet a subscriber, this would be the ideal time to sign up!)

Take your time perusing this issue; there is much to absorb and much to enjoy. And thanks for dropping in!

Issue : August 2010

Welcome to August! It's International Travel Month and it's a good thing, too. We have last-minute family outings to organize and places we want to see, back-to-school shopping and friends to celebrate. Don't forget those last-minute BBQ Ribs to prepare with that extra money you have to spend. Okay, maybe there's still time before the snow starts, but time passes fast so you might also want to get started on that bedroom soon.  No matter what's on your "to-do" list this month, do something special with the one you love and something that makes you laugh as well.

  Now, regardless of what month it is, stay on top of What Happened - What Mattered in Gay  Marriage and for that matter, what's happening with us at 10,000 Couples.
