So a lot of people wonder what a gay wedding website is or why there needs to be a gay wedding website instead of a straight wedding website or a regular wedding website for both gays and straights. The thing is that gay wedding websites and straight wedding websites are pretty much the same. They both talk about weddings, they both give you ideas for planning or tips for planning weddings. What makes them different is that on straight wedding websites you see brides and grooms. On gay wedding websites you see two brides or two grooms.
Most weddings websites are oriented for straight people. They show happy brides and grooms together and then maybe have a link for a gay section. For gay people, although that is sweet and nice, why shouldn’t their be a gay couple on the front as well. To us it sort of feels like we are a second priority or need to be hidden off to the side which is absolutely unacceptable and why there is a need for gay wedding websites.
Gay people want to see images and things that relate to them. When we go to a wedding website we want to see a happy gay couple. We don’t want to see a bunch of straight people enjoying their wedding because guess what, it is a gay wedding and that isn’t how ours will be. Sure we will be happy and smiling but we also won’t have a bride and groom, unless it is a transgendered or drag queen or drag king getting married. We want to see gay couples kissing, cutting cakes, gay cake toppers and gay couples enjoying their wedding. We want to see images of what our day may look like and ones that we can relate to.
Seeing a bride and groom smiling while cutting a cake is great and we get the idea but showing two grooms cutting the cake together drives the thought home and really helps to sell us on why your gay wedding products and your gay wedding website is the one to shop at or visit for planning ideas. By relating with your audience you not only make them feel more welcome but by having the pictures of same sex couples getting married you also help them to better see and imagine what their gay wedding will look and be like. That is one of the main differences between gay wedding websites and straight wedding websites. Gay wedding websites are about gay couples and gay people and help to show gay couples what their wedding may look like. So if you want to create a gay wedding website then remember it is about gay people. Show gay couples, gay images and cater to the gays. Don’t make them second to straight people and show pictures of straight couples…unless it is the parents and they are straight, then by all means show straight couples.
