/24-7PressRelease/ - SAN FRANCISCO, CA, June 19, 2008 - Today is a historic day for civil rights in the United States. At 5:01 pm, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom will officiate the wedding of Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, a lesbian couple that has been together for over 50 years - making theirs the first legal gay marriage in California.
"Gay men and women have always sought out long-term committed relationships and starting today, we will begin to see these unions recognized legally in California," said Patrick Perrine, Founder and CEO of myPartner.com. "We are proud to be a California based business, gay owned and gay operated, that helps relationship-oriented gay men find each other and fall in love. We are even more delighted that California is offering equal opportunities for all couples to have their love recognized. Beginning at 5:01pm today (Pacific Time) we will offer one week of free Premium Memberships to all California residents as a symbol of our commitment to the idea of gay men finding their perfect partners."
Since myPartner.com's launch in September of 2007, it has quickly grown to be the leading matchmaking service for gay men looking for true love - whether it's a long term commitment or marriage - with thousands of new profiles created each week. myPartner also hosts the Perfect Partner Forum, a free service designed to connect relationship experts with single gay men looking for their perfect partner, and with gay couples looking for expert help to keep their relationships going strong. Perfect Partner Forum contributors like noted gay couples therapist Rik Isensee, are also offering service discounts in honor of the legalization of same-sex marriages in California today. Isensee will offer a free copy of his book "Love Between Men", a 15% session discount, or the choice to offer a 15% donation (per session) to EQCA to fight the California anti-gay marriage initiative to myPartner.com members.
Now that same-sex couples will be allowed to marry in California, myPartner expects many more gay men to take advantage of matchmaking services like myPartner.com, whose Partner Perfect Compatibility system was designed by gay men specifically for gay men. "As residents of California, we at myPartner hope that our state continues to stay on the forefront of equal rights and continues to help pave the way for the rest of the nation to recognize gay marriage" says Perrine.
Today, on June 16th, 2008, at 5:01pm all residents of California with active profiles on myPartner.com will be upgraded to a one week free premium membership. Visit http://www.myPartner.com to take advantage of this free offer and find your perfect partner!
