/24-7PressRelease/ - CAMBRIDGE, MA, April 08, 2006 - On May 17, 2004 the lives of many same-sex couples changed in the state of Massachusetts; the hopes and dreams of GLBT couples across the nation changed as well. It was then that RainbowWeddingNetwork.com co-founders, Cindy Sproul and Marianne Puechl, knew their company was about to dramatically change and they were inspired to pursue even bigger professional and personal goals. This year, on April 30, 2006 Sproul, Puechl and the Rainbow Wedding Network (RWN) team will launch the first issue of Rainbow Wedding Network Magazine in celebration of the Third Annual Same Love, Same Rights GLBT Wedding and Family Expo and the second year of legal marriage rights for GLBT couples in Massachusetts. They also celebrate the future they know is possible nationwide and the efforts the GLBT community and its allies continue to make in protecting equality, justice and the civil liberties of all Americans.
Rainbow Wedding Network Magazine will be the latest endeavor of the Rainbow Wedding Network team, but certainly not the last of 2006. Under the name Same Love, Same Rights RWN has already produced a successful second annual event in Atlanta in February of this year and they look forward to events in Cambridge on April 30, Hartford on May 7, Philadelphia on November 5 and Seattle in the late summer/early fall. New national sponsorships have been created with Clik Magazine, Passional Magazine, SABLEMagazine.com, GayWebMonkey.com, Outvite.com, Lavender Rose and QNortheast Magazine. RWN is also producing Same Love, Same Rights benefit after-parties to raise money for local area non-profits involved in marriage equality, GLBT healthcare and adoption rights. These events include musicians such as Jen Foster, Pamela Means and Stephanie Callahan.
Rainbow Wedding Network Magazine is the country's first full color publication dedicated to the issue of marriage equality. The magazine will be published quarterly and distributed in conjunction with Same Love, Same Rights events planned throughout the year. Featured articles will include interviews, marriage equality news, tips for weddings and honeymoons, current wedding trends, political reports, family and parenting information, along with a directory of business professionals nationwide who support equal rights for everyone. Rainbow Wedding Network's mission is to bring progressive people of all kinds together to be active in protecting GLBT couples and families everywhere, as well as to create a network through which the GLBT community and its allies can financially, politically and personally support one another.
Rainbow Wedding Network has educated people about same-sex marriage, GLBT families, parenting rights and health issues for five years. RWN has also provided online services to GLBT couples throughout the United States and Canada. RainbowWeddingNetwork.com was the nation's first gay and lesbian wedding gift registry and online directory, launched in 2000. RainbowWeddingNetwork.com currently includes over 5000 vendors in its directory throughout the United States and Canada and all are individually screened as GLBT-friendly. In 2003 RWN expanded to include the Same Love, Same Rights Wedding and Family Expos and the company currently produces five expos each year. In 2005 RWN launched a sister website http://www.RainbowWeddingExpo.com and plans for a RainbowWeddingNetwork.com redesign are in the works for 2007.
RainbowWeddingNetwork.com is the nation's first GLBT wedding registry and directory. For more information on upcoming events visit http://www.RainbowWeddingExpo.com.
