The first gay couple to have a commitment/civil
union announcement published in the New York Times, Daniel Gross
and Steven Goldstein,
met through a personal ad in the Washington City Paper. According to the announcement, Gross's ad read: "Nice Jewish boy, 5 feet 8 inches, 22, funny, well-read, dilettantish, self-deprecating, Ivy League, the kind of boy Mom fantasized about." He got 35 responses and one lifetime commitment.
