In celebration of National Coming Out Day on October 11, ABCd's new digital talk series ALL MY GAY FRIENDS ARE GETTING MARRIED hosted by television personality, pop culture pundant and comedian Michelle Collins, is re-launching with a social campaign about the power of love and the celebration of life! It includes three never-before-released videos about coming out, finding love and the impact of the Prop. 8 ruling.

"If it weren't for my gay friends, I would never LOL. It's about time the funniest, most caring people I know are able to celebrate marriage to one another!" said executive producer and host Michelle Collins. "This show welcomes some truly inspirational couples to learn about their fabulous wedding days - some of which are jaw-dropping - as well as find out their own journeys, individually and as couples."
Episodes include:

• "Fight for Your Right to Marry": Jeff Zarillo and Paul Katami are literally the reasons why gay couples can get married, as they launched a case to overturn Prop. 8 and won! This couple had a star-studded wedding celebration featuring guests Lance Bass, Jamie Lee Curtis and Darren Criss.

• "A Cape to Remember": Proving you do not have to choose between God and gay, Josh and Michael fell in love at a church that initially rejected their relationship. With help from country superstar Carrie Underwood, the church not only welcomed the couple back, but the pastor performed their ceremony featuring Josh's beautiful cape!

• "A Very Grammy Wedding": Jamal married Octavius at the Grammy Awards in a ceremony officiated by the Queen - Queen Latifah! Beginning their relationship on the down low in Atlanta, the couple later celebrated their nuptials with a Hollywood-inspired after-party that featured a mic-dropping speech by Jamal's father

• "They Entered On a Unicorn": Aaron knew Danny was the man for him, because he always considered his needs. Or was it the fact that they exchanged gold Rolexes? Either way, the couple had their dream wedding - unicorn and all - at the Paramount studio lot. Wedding guests were treated to a red-carpet extravaganza that included performances by John Legend and Joss Stone.

• "DIY Wedding": Michelle has finally met not one, but two nice Jewish boys named Michael. Her only problem? They're married to each other. The Michaels proposed and accepted each other's hand in marriage in a DIY wedding that included a 30-year-old flower girl and unicorn ring bearer.

"All My Gay Friends Are Getting Married" is produced by World of Wonder.
