Martha Stewart loves her gays!!
Successful blogger Jeremy Hooper, GoodAsYou.org, and his husband Andew Shulman will be featured in an upcoming issue of Martha Stewart Weddings.
This will be the first gay married couple to be profiled and photographed in that publication.
Hooper did his own PR blitz sending out his nuptial photos to magazine and newspaper editors when an editor from Martha Stewart Weddings took the bait and emailed him back.
Martha Stewart Weddings' editor in chief Vanessa Holden says it was Andrew and Jeremy's personal take on the wedding that really caught the magazine's eye.
"We have thousands of submissions, and we look for a very particular kind of wedding," she says. "We liked the personal style, their take on how they wanted to celebrate their union. It was a very nice, well-executed, tastefully done celebration of two people's unions."
Hooper says he made such a point of getting the wedding photos out there because “for the past five years my personal and my public life have been one and the same. Every step of this journey — every time I can put a human face on this issue, I do.” He says he thinks another reason editors at Martha Stewart Weddings were so eager to run the photos is that the wedding was so pro-family.
“We had six or seven children there under the age of 10. We had a nun in full habit. Every faith, everything they always use against us, I think we nipped all of those in the bud.”
