Sometimes it pays to stick around Beacon on weekends. We did very well at the tag sale, thanks for asking. On top of that, I met a few cool people that I didn’t know existed.

Two of those people were Stephen and Patrick, the guys behind Big Gay Hudson Valley. If you haven’t heard of them yet, that’s because the site is brand spankin’ new. And they seem to have quite the following already!

BGHV blogs about local events and resources including my favorite….food and drink. You don’t gotta be gay to enjoy a good meal!

I found out from reading their blog that it’s been five years since the gay New Paltz marriages. I lived near Kingston at the time and sneaked in to the roped off family section to photograph the event. Had it up on my photography website all these years. (Mainly because I haven’t updated that website.) It turns out one of the couples married that day were good friends of Stephen and Patrick.

Small gay world, huh?
