Cadillac CTS-V: "...a man car like this"

Donny Nordlicht, of GayWheels.com, was recently taken with the 'man' power of Cadillac's hot new, 556 horsepower CTS-V sports sedan:

"So he's a little rough around the edges and hard to handle some times, but a man car like this doesn't come around often. And when it does, you grab it and go."

Same-sex marriages begin in Vermont

Vermont now joins Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Iowa in allowing same-sex marriage in America. The couple pictured above are, Bill Slimback and Bob Sullivan, who have been together for 17 years. The newlyweds proudly got married at midnight. "We've waited a long time to do this — basically, our whole lives," said Bill Slimback. Congratulations!

DUXBURY, Vt. – After 17 years together, Bill Slimback and Bob Sullivan couldn't wait another minute to get married. So they didn't. With Vermont's new law allowing same-sex marriage only a minute old, they tied the knot in a midnight ceremony at a rustic Vermont lodge, becoming one of the first couples to legally wed under a law that took effect at midnight Tuesday.

Dressed in suits, saying their vows under a large wall-mounted moose head, the two Whitehall, N.Y., men promised their love, exchanged rings and held hands during a modest 17-minute ceremony. Moose Meadow Lodge co-owner Greg Trulson, who's also a Justice of the Peace, presided. "It feels wonderful," said Slimback, 38, an out-of-work Teamster who is taking Sullivan's last name as his own. "It's a day I've been long waiting for, and a day I truly honestly thought would never come." Slimback said he and Sullivan, 41, have long wanted to cement their relationship with a wedding, but since they couldn't legally marry in New York they chose to wed even before Vermont's gay marriage era officially dawned.

Vermont is one of five states that now allow same-sex couples to marry. Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Iowa are the others. Vermont, which invented civil unions in 2000 after a same-sex couple challenged the inequality of state marriage statutes, was a mecca for gay couples who to that point had no way to officially recognize their relationships. Since then, other states have allowed gay marriage, as did Vermont, which in April became the first state to legalize gay marriage through a legislative decree and not a court case. Some couples — including many who obtained civil unions in Vermont — plan to return to the state to get married. But most are in no rush. City and town officials say only a handful of licenses had been issued to same-sex couples in anticipation of Tuesday's start.
