Ok, with all the wedding talk and what to give for gifts, I am NOW, after going to weddings for almost 20 years-lol! invited to an outdoor wedding in someone's home.
Here is the scenario:
Bride and Groom (she 22, he 36)
Living together for over 3 years
Groom-12 year old son
Bride and Groom-have a 3 year old and she is due with their 2nd in August
Wedding:
At her mother's house-catered food from restaurant
I know in other posts I said I would probably give the same as a sit down reception but we were orally invited to this wedding so I assume they are doing this just to get married before the 2nd child arrives. I have NO clue now what to do about a gift-lol!!

what you describe is different from being accepted for your body type or lack of makeup -- first of al lthe boys ARE WAY more bitchy and catty about appearances that straight women could ever hope to be. eating disorders among young gay men are rampant actually -- the cult of the young and beautiful definitely lives among the boys.
However, what you described was probably a knee jerk response - when you have so few spaces that are just for you it's hard sometimes to hve them invaded by straight couples. The gay clubs in my home town are known to have the best djs but then the straight girls and boys come and they stare and gawk and point when i kiss my girlfriend -- and really if I wanted to be stared at I GO to a straight club. (once i kissed Kelly in a restaurant and the guy next to us literally choked on his water). The other thing may have bene that they wanted to let you know you were in a gay bar before you got uncomfortable. I"m not saying what they did was right and there are just as many gays and lesbians that are phobic about heterosexuals as vice versa. And that's just as wrong as homophobia in my book. I just got into a HUGE argument with a woman on one of my Gltb list serves for upcoming events. She complained that a poster put up a jazz festival that wasn't "strictly GLTB oriented" and I said "give me a break , don't you think life would be boring if we ONLY hung around with other gay people?" OOOH you shoudl have seen the fur fly over that one!
Yes. We. Did.
What we enjoyed most is being with our friends who traveled long distances and partying with them.
