Michael Lucas To Wed!

Michael Lucas Weds Richard Winger
Hey everybody… good news! Apparently, there really is someone for everybody. Very soon, the horse-hung Ice Queen of Porn, Michael Lucas will wed Richard Winger, an international businessman and President Emeritus of New York City’s LGBT Center. The two men will marry in a private Los Angeles ceremony celebrating the couple’s eight-year relationship.
“I’m very excited about the upcoming ceremony,” said Lucas, “and I’m proud to be having it in a state that accepts our relationship. This is not only a declaration of our love, but as a way to show that gay people can marry just like heterosexual couples.  While it’s difficult to believe these rights may be swept away by such ignorance, it’s moments such as this when we need to come together and fight for a cause.”
“I have loved Michael for eight years, ever since we met at a Holiday Party,” added Winger, “and I look forward to reaffirming our love and our relationship.”
The couple will use the event to host a fundraiser for Equality California, a leading statewide lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights and advocacy organization. Through their “No On Prop 8” campaign the group has been spearheading the fight against the homophobic Proposition 8 initiative, which calls for the elimination of the right for same-sex couples to marry.
Michael’s wedding is a good reminder that California gays still need your help! Support for proposition 8 is growing and gay activists are being outspent by almost $10 million, mostly because of the deep pockets of the Mormon Church. If you can, please donate to Equality California or No On 8—it’s easy, it’s simple, and it’ll make a world of difference.
As for Lucas’ wedding, the event will be attended primarily by members of the adult entertainment industry. Makes you wonder how messy the all-you-eat buffet might be and how porn stars might party in the after-reception shenanigans at the hotel.
Following their nuptials in California, the couple plans to commemorate the ceremony with a gathering in New York City in November.
