This week the California Supreme Court handed down their ruling to uphold Proposition 8, creating a constitutional amendment denying gays and lesbians the right to get married. But myPartner.com and Marriage Equality USA continue to remain optimistic and have joined forces with Ari Gold, openly gay recording artist, for the America’s Gay Bachelor Finale event on June 20!
"We are absolutely delighted to be the beneficiary of myPartner.com's America's Gay Bachelor of the year," said Molly McKay, Media Director, Marriage Equality USA. "We see it as an investment in our eligible bachelors’ futures - to ensure that soon - when they meet the man of their dreams, they can be legally married and live happily ever after no matter what state they live in!"
This year’s America’s Gay Bachelor Finale event involving Ari Gold as a Guest Judge, will take place on Saturday June 20th at the W Hotel San Diego. The event will be a sunset soiree from 7 – 10pm, include a host bar, live runway show, guest celebrity judges, the Top 5 bachelors, and so much more.

Perrine, CEO of myPartner.com. “Not only has Ari’s career as an openly gay recording artist helped to pave the way for many others who look up to him as a role model, but his work as an activist fighting for equal rights is something that I admire, embrace and welcome!” Perrine went on to say: “This year’s AGB (America’s Gay Bachelor) ticket sales are benefiting Marriage Equality USA so join us on June 20th to celebrate the best of our nation’s eligible bachelors while supporting marriage equality for all!”

Ari Gold Award-winning independent recording artist Ari Gold is turning the music scene on its head, rewriting the rules, and trailblazing a storm of political pop. People magazine says that Ari Gold’s latest album, Transport Systems, “takes the listener to fresh places” and Clive Davis says Ari “writes from the heart.” Born and raised in an orthodox Jewish household in the Bronx, Ari released his first album in 2000, receiving critical attention from Billboard, HITS, and VIBE for being the first openly gay pop singer to be out in his music from the beginning of his career. Ari’s new single, “Human,” marks his fourth #1 Video for MTV Network’s Logo. As one of the most popular faces on the Logo network, Ari hosts his own show, Naked City, interviewing celebrities such as Brandy, Alan Cumming, and RuPaul. His Billboard Top 10 and #1 Sirius Radio dance hit “Where The Music Takes You” was voted the #1 Video of the Year and is the Grand Prize Winner of the 12th Annual USA Songwriting Competition. Ari is an Independent Music Award winner (Best R&B Song, “Love Wasn’t Built In a Day” featuring Dave Koz), a 2x Outmusic Award winner, and was named one of the OUT100 Most Influential People by Out magazine. Ari has toured Europe, Canada, and more than 40 cities across the U.S. alongside Chaka Khan, RuPaul, and Cyndi Lauper, and has graced countless magazine covers around the world. Ari has lent his time, talent and energy to several organizations devoted to HIV/AIDS awareness, homelessness, and human rights, including the Human Rights Campaign, Soulforce, the Ali Forney Center, the ACLU, amfAR, and GMHC.
