Will & Grace: Three Years Later ... the New England Connections
Gay television viewers have their own reason for a pilgrimage to Boston: though they can’t saddle up to the kitchen counter for a martini with Karen, or plop on the couch to trade quick quips with Jack, they can see the original set of the landmark series Will & Grace as it sits, meticulously reassembled in painstaking detail, behind glass at the student library of Emerson College. Shortly after the show ended, co-creator and Emerson alum Max Mutchnick (class of ’87) donated the set to the college, where it was installed as a permanent display last year.
Nearly three years to the day after Will & Grace aired its series finale on May 18, 2006, Bay Windows was allowed to go behind the glass, step onto the set of the show, and snoop through Will Truman’s old Manhattan apartment. Everything, it seems, is exactly how the sitcom’s foursome left it, from the plush blue couch where Will and Grace held heartfelt chats, to the raised kitchen counter where Karen clutched her umpteenth glass of champagne. And on one wall, the apartment door is left permanently ajar - as specifically arranged by the installation team - its chain latched and straining as if trying to keep out Jack and his latest dose of gossip. The effect is sweet but sad, like poking through a loved one’s belongings after they’ve passed on to the big syndicated series in the sky. (Continue Reading-Source/BayWindows)

For gay couples, married matters!
"Five years after the first same-sex weddings in Massachusetts, gay and lesbian couples express deeply traditional reasons for deciding to wed and cite equally conventional benefits flowing from marriage, according to a study being released this week.
A significant majority of the 558 gay men and women surveyed said that since marrying, they feel more committed to their spouses, more accepted in their community, and more likely to be open about their sexual orientation at work.
The survey indicates that there is something universal about the legal protections and social advantages afforded by the institution of marriage, said the study's authors from the University of California, Los Angeles as well as independent researchers. And it suggests, they said, that a ritual once scorned even by many same-sex couples has the power to ease discrimination." (Continue Reading-Source/Boston.com)
