So You're EnGAYged, a LGBT wedding blog

On the evening of August 25th, Yay New York! A Mass Reception to Celebrate Marriage Equality will be held in the same mid-town Manhattan space and is open to the public. DJ Whitney Day, an up-and-coming DJ in NYC’s LGBTQ nightlife scene, will be spinning. Decorations will include Confetti System pinatas, and Monogamy Wine will be flowing freely from the open bar. A dance-your-face-off celebration, Yay New York! is a party for everyone who wants to celebrate this historic moment in civil rights in style.

The Fundraiser

Because the organizers think that the best way to celebrate New York’s Marriage Equality Law is to help raise money to bring equality to other states as well, all attendees will be asked to make a suggested $40 tax-deductible donation to Lambda Legal at the door in an effort to raise $10,000 for the organization. Lambda Legal was chosen as the charity recipient because of their longstanding commitment to “achieving full recognition of the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and those with HIV through impact litigation, education and public policy work.”

The Tote Bags

To allow people who can’t attend the celebration to help support the event, we’re offering limited edition tote bags, for sale for just $20. They feature the Yay New York logo, a simple and evocative symbol of marriage equality. That and they’re super stylish. Get them before they are gone.
