Contest winners marry in Hollywood

As we've heard from some of our own gay couples, their marriage certificates will be useless in China.

 

Contest-winning gay couples from China wed in West Hollywood

 

Seven same-sex couples from China tied the knot in West Hollywood, California yesterday after winning an online contest sponsored by Alibaba and Blued, China's leading gay dating app.

The couples received their marriage licenses at the Beverly Hills Courthouse earlier this week and their wedding ceremonies were officiated by West Hollywood Mayor Lindsey Horvath at a city library yesterday. While their unions won't be recognized in China, the couples can claim each other as spouses when traveling to the US.
