Young Gay Marrieds

The cover story in today’s New York Times Magazine is about gay couples in Massachusetts who get married in their 20s.

Last November in Boston, Joshua Janson, a slender and boyish 25-year-old, invited me to an impromptu gathering at the apartment he shares with Benjamin McGuire, his considerably more staid husband of the same age. It was a cozy, festive affair, complete with some 20 guests and a large sushi spread where you might have expected the chips and salsa to be.

“I beg of you — please eat a tuna roll!” Joshua barked, circulating around the spacious apartment in a blue blazer, slim-fitting corduroys and a pair of royal blue house slippers with his initials. “The fish is not going to eat itself!”

Coincidentally, the piece is written by Benoit Denizet-Lewis, who wrote the piece about the Abercrombie & Fitch CEO that I re-linked to the other day.
