RECESSION WOES HELP GAY MEN PLACE A HIGHER VALUE ON LOVE |
| 2009-01-26 |
As Economy Worsens and Valentine’s Day Approaches, Gay Men Rethink the Value of Love
San Francisco, Calif. – January 26, 2009 – As the nation’s economic news worsens, and Valentine’s Day approaches, many gay men in America are re-assessing the value of true love in their lives.
“We’ve been hearing from our clients across the country that the recession has helped them re-prioritize,” said Patrick H. Perrine, a professional private matchmaker for gay men, and the Founder and CEO of the gay dating service myPartner.com. “Suddenly it’s clearer to everyone that material things can be temporary, but finding the love of your life is priceless.”
This will be the first Valentine’s Day since the passage of Proposition 8 in California last November. Many expect the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community to be more attuned to the ideas of love and marriage for that reason, and more inclined to view Valentine’s Day as both a personal, as well as a political, milestone.
Businesses that cater to the LGBT community are also taking steps to acknowledge the occasion. The gay dating service myPartner.com will be offering new members who join between February 1 and Valentine’s Day (February 14, 2009) a free three-month Premium Membership (regularly $89.95 – with coupon code LW4NM “Love Waits For No Man”) to encourage gay men everywhere to find love this Valentine’s Day.
“There can never be enough love in the world,” says Perrine. “Valentine’s Day is just another reminder that everyone can find someone to love if they’re willing to take the first step.”
