Byron

Our newest HMBoy has been celebrating this week.  It's not that we've ever seen him in an especially miserable mood - but for the past few days young Byron's had a particular reason to be happy.

He is Canadian, you see, coming from the south of the country, with a home town very close to the US border.  And that explains why it is that Byron has an American boyfriend.

But until now there's been a problem.

"Even though we're only a few miles apart, it's sometimes seemed like we live in two different worlds", he tells us.  "We'd already decided that, after college, he'd be moving to Canada because we'd like to get married.  And though that's been legal here for nearly 10 years, the US state that he comes from had banned it."

So it is that, since last week's US Supreme Court verdict, lovestruck Byron's had a particularly wide grin in his face.

"We've decided to have two separate marriage ceremonies - one on each side of the border.  So now we're doing everything that we can to raise the money to pay for them.  Luckily, my boyfriend's got a good camera..."

And that's an HMBoys first...  Our models usually need cash for their rent, their college tuition, a new car - or sometimes even for a girlfriend with a baby in the way.  

But cash for a gay wedding is certainly a new one on us!
