Did anyone else receive an email today from Rainbow Wedding Supplies, a company that helps with arrangements for gay/lesbian weddings & blessings?

They're basically asking whether I'd be interested in being added to their site as a supplier.
I'd guess that a fair few DJ's would immediately respond with "No waaaay!" thumbdown.gif
But the colour of the moneys still the same (OK, maybe some of the notes are pink, but hey biggrin.gif )
For those that are interested go to Rainbow Wedding Supplies

I had the enquiry a couple of months ago regarding wedding cakes. As it happens I have just taken a booking for December for a 'blessing' between Alan and Dave, whilst Annelise (my wife) is making the cake. I don't mind doing them, and if you get an enquiry I would say do it, as some of the best gigs I have done are for gay people, they have no barriers and just enjoy themselves.

At least the gay men would dance which is more that i can say about most staight blokes. biggrin.gif

It is much easier to play to gay people than straight people I find, gay people want to have a good time and make sure they do just that whereas straight people like to drink and then dance not the other way around.

Well Luvvvieeessss.

I'm think they are fantastic, chuck, alright.

But to get back on track, yes I recieved, wasn't to sure, so i deleted it.

Lol I turn my back for 5 minutes (Pardon the pun!), and what have you done to the forum. Gay Weddings! - well live and let live I always say provided you get paid for the disco then what the hell. Homosexuals, Lesbians, Hells Angels, Satan Worshippers, Saddam Hussain, People from Slough etc, as long as they pay their bill I'm not concerned who they are!.

I wonder if they have been using the Plasa Photo Shoot, or the Hall of Shame to direct their mailshoot rolleyes.gif

Then the icing on the cake is discovering that Mikee has turned into Cilla Black...

whats wrong with me, nobody asked me

I have DJ'd at a couple of gay weddings,

the most bizarre thing was during the 1st dance at the lesbian wedding, (yes it was KD Lang) when the girls were dancing with the girls, the boys with the boys, there were only a few boy/girl couples dancing.

both were very good gigs though.

Sharon, my wife regularly works at gay venues, and they are always superb gigs.

also I no many straight people who go to the club night G.A.Y. & quote it as one of the best club nights in london

Agreed! most do's where you've got gaye partys are great!
Any of you got gay friends? been out in a crowd etc........

One of the places I done I had a regular gay following and these people made the night, they really know how to enjoy themselves so if you want a bladdy good night take bookings like these!

Like a lady needs a handbag, we also need a gay friend, and one of my good friends is gay, and beleive me!
He is the only guy on this earth that can say to me
"No darling, your arse is far to large in that" AND LIVE! biggrin.gif

No actually, nor did I play YMCA it's raining men or anything you lot would comically assume gay people like to listen too :wacko

They will sing and dance to anything, there not as reserved as such straight people! and I've sung and danced with plenty!

A right happy go lucky crowd!
Chrispy
I think that Younger People / D.J's (Apart from maybe Crooksey!) are more open to accepting alternative Lifestyles or sexualities these days, than perhaps the D.J's of the older generations. I believe that the Gay clubs have less trouble than the usual club nights, maybe this is as Paula said, that Gay's are more likely to enjoy themselves and hence less interest in purely going out to get drunk and cause trouble!.

I know one local D.J who is openly Gay. Yes, at first it made me very un-comfortable, but you can't judge people purely because of their sexuality. At the end of the day he's a great laugh, a very good D.J and the type of person who would always help anybody out. Also just because somebody happens to be gay does't mean that they'll automatically be out to chat you up. But why are they always surrounded by beautiful woman????, Is there an element of safety here Paula??. tongue.gif
YourBigEvent
Just because I am straight doesn't mean that every girls chats me up so why should it be different for blokes (not sure that made any sense but will keep it in anyway)
I have gay friends and it more of a laugh with them then with my straight friends, but as Chris says ALL the woman love them, I think it may be a femine thing attraction but it's just not fair biggrin.gif
paula
Right!
All take a night off!
I'm taking you to Heaven! biggrin.gif

Kinda Freaky??? LoL @ Crooks, you probably meet Gays & Lesbians every day of the week and never even know it, or do they wear bells around their necks in Canada? laugh.gif .

Nothing wrong with having an opinion, but as you get older you'll *hopefully* become a little more subtle about how you express it 071.gif

We are all the same in the bath - but some people bathe differently!!!!!!

Having entertained gay, multicultural gay and club gay functions, I would have to agree that the 'party' atmosphere is excellent.

(And it is an experience - after all!)

On the corporate side of things - 'gay' orientated functions are sometimes more 'frolic-y' than 'straight-gay' functions!!! (from experience)
But I'll think you'll find that beneath bravado and campness is a world of intelligence and interlect!!!!!!

I've never been 'sexually-approached' or 'upset' by a client that was 'gay' .... and I'm still waiting for the 'well that's what'll happen' experience!!!!!'

Gay or lesbian's are, after all, human beings!!!!!

(I've never kissed a gay before, but I've kissed a man who has) 071.gif

?!?! Chris, I have no idea why you have said this?! 533.gif
I have absolutely no problems with this type of gig, which is why I started the topic in the first place.

Got a bit carried away esk , misunderstood as i was in a rush and answered what i thought i read! rolleyes.gif Thought it was a bit odd ! Sorry again

Who cares who you are doing a gig for - sexuality should never come into it - its either a good gig with great people or it isnt - !
stevemarshall
As someone who has done weddings and discos of all kinds all over the world for the last 25 years

I have worked in Soul clubs in the 70's, New Romantic clubs in the 80's and Rock and reggae clubs in the 90's and a few other places as well!

Someone's sexuality has never been an issue with me..ever

Gay and Lesbian weddings not a problem.. *S* done a few Gay and lesbian wedding receptions and yup great fun great crowd...and great thanks at the end of the nite... plus a great tip too!

kazzachi
absolutely right steve, I would bet that the only people who would turn down a gay gig are total bigots anyhow!
YourBigEvent
Having met the couple, Alan and Dave who are getting married in December it looks like it is going to be a great do, the last gig I did for some gay people, they were from London, down in Torquay for a weekend to celebrate a 40th birthday, only 13 of them but one of the best night I have done.
