HINTS: Common mistakes include, "writers pitching stories for brides and grooms marrying each other. We're a gay magazine! But seriously, we need professional writers who completely embrace marriage equality and understand the ins and outs of same-sex weddings, how they're different from straight weddings and how they're not. We need writers to come up with new ideas of what's not been covered in other wedding magazines, and how we can further help gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender couples plan their nuptials."
