This is Addison and Evan's nightstand. A piece by their art duo friends Donny and Travis hangs above their light.
When did you guys get your domestic partnership?
AS: What day was it?
EH: November 9th. It was a Friday.
What was the motivating factor? Why did you guys do this?
AS: Well, we wanted to spend the rest of our life together. The domestic partnership in New York is really the only – we’re going to get a ceremony in Texas, but there are absolutely no rights that you get with that ceremony. [Laughs] But in terms of here in New York City, we registered for insurance benefits, which is a big one, hospital visitation – at least in New York state – and the rent stabilization laws recognize it, as well. So, even though Evan’s not on the lease, since he’s my domestic partner – God forbid something happened and I died in an accident or something – the landlords couldn’t be like, “Okay, time to leave.”
EH: And you can visit me in jail.
Are they actually gay or just posing?
Who's the third guy at the table? I'd like to marry him.
UM, You guys need to take the hand towels over the stove and place them someplace else.
Don't want a fire do you?
Ha! Yes, afrolito, that's a real life gay couple. Can you believe it?!
Those guys are adorable.
OMG they're fucking adorable. Now I want to be gay… wait… I already am. damn!
At first I thought this was an article about gay brothers. They look related.
And we're supposed to care about these guys why?
i want to be them.
Hate to burst their pink bubble, but domestic partnership isn't marriage. Not even close.
They're adorable. The story was sweet.
That post was full of warm fuzzies. It reminds me that I have the chance of meeting a guy and settling down.
Queerty should have more posts like this. It compliments the biting sarcasm and caustic wit that I've grown to love quite nicely.
What a snoozefest. I bet that you everything in their apartment is in neutral tones.
Thanks for the slice of life.
I want them to adopt me.
I guarauntee you, one of them is into scat.
they are friends of mine. they are genuinely that sweet, that funny, and that GAY. they are painfully lovable. and…the fact that they are so young and in a committed relationship is lovely to me, because i'm young and i married my partner in massachusetts in 2005 and it's nice to feel like we're not alone in going through it all.
I don't think that's a regular old neutral-toned hand towel over the stove, it appears to be a handmade, one-of-a-kind, bright yellow John Deere logo apron with a ruffled hem… and I bet EH looks *HOT* in it. xoxo
This should be forced reading for the ChristiaNazis, so they can see how sinful and hedonistic this lifestyle really is… YAWN…
Nice interview with a real gay couple. Glad to read and see coverage on regular people.
Great article. Guys, look me up when you get back to Austin. My bf and I are in our late 20's and know plenty of families. johnnieb085@yahoo.com
Addison, I swear you get more press than anyone I know! First the Times article now this :)
You two are so cute, it makes me want to strangle a kitten! :)
I just saw Thai and Sean get married in Paris today. SO cute!
Ahhhh…Alan in Florida. I would expect such drivel from a tired queen in soFL. The land of serial killer and diabetes. Please don't travel.
