The primary purpose of Worldwide Mr. Gay (WMG) is to identify leaders who will take responsibility of being a spokesperson not only in his own community but on a global stage speaking out for equal and human rights. WMG is a positive role model and will work on humanizing being gay in the media both queer and mainstream.
Friday February 6, the board of Directors decided that next year’s host city for Gay World Ambassador is Oslo, Norway.
This year’s executive producer in Canada Dean Nelson has long experience with hosting this kind of events, and so does the executive producer in Oslo Tore Aasheim, who along with Morten Ruda, the president of Mr. Gay Europe has build up a vital organization in the whole of Europe.

We hope that Gay World Ambassador 2010 is going to be a celebration in all of Oslo and we delighted with the chosen slogan “In the name of love!”

Have a look at the video presentation from Oslo that was shown at the Grand finale in Canada:

The new year brought a new era in New Hampshire.

Some of us ushered in 2010 — the start of a new year and a new decade — with noisemakers, bubbly champagne and hearty attempts to remember the lyrics to “Auld Lang Syne.”

Some of us ushered in 2010 lounging on the couch watching the live coverage from Times Square and, later, LSU take on Penn State.

But some New Hampshire same-sex couples did not mark the start of the new year in typical fashion. With the arrival of the new year, the first same-sex couples legally married in the Granite State.

New Hampshire lawmakers passed marriage equality legislation in 2009, expanding upon rights already extended to same-sex couples through civil unions legislation in 2008. The marriage law took effect Jan. 1, making New Hampshire the fifth state to issue marriage licenses — legal marriage licenses — to same-sex couples.

By late December, about 40 couples had applied to their town clerks for licenses. Many more couples are expected to apply for licenses this year, and, in 2011, the more than 700 civil unions in the state will automatically be updated to marriages.
