Degn Schubert, 40, with hair stylist Kristina Pinto as he prepares for his civil union ceremony with partner Mark Rado that will take place at midnight February 22, 2007 in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The couple had a domestic partnership formed in California June 28, 2003 and celebrate that date as their anniversary. Schubert says, "I'm happy for the couples that are doing it for the first time, but for this one, we're doing it because it allows us more rights." (Photo by Colin Archer/Getty Images)
