PRESS RELEASE — June 17 — Today is a historic day for civil rights in the US. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom will officiate the wedding 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. 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.

That’s a one big step for gay marriage in our history. Like I always said, if they are serious about the relationship and they are happy together and they are not hurting anyone else, who is to say no to a relationship that is geniune?
