Here is the Press release that was sent to the Associated Press for printing as of February 10, 2004:
Frank Jump & Vincenzo Aiosa have been living together in Brooklyn since 1990. Mr. Jump is a photographer/composer and NYC school teacher. He has recently completed his Masters Degree at Brooklyn College through the NYC Teaching Fellows Program. Jump is an original ACT-UP member and in April 2004, he will be living with HIV/AIDS for twenty years. Jump's photographic website project, The Fading Ad Campaign documents vintage mural advertisements in New York, across the U.S., and Europe and is a metaphor for his survival. Mr. Aiosa, a NYC contractor, apartment remodeler and owner of Third Millennium Ventures, Inc., is originally from Torino, Italy and has been living in the U.S. since 1982. Both Jump & Aiosa are thrilled to be tying the knot in Toronto and thank the Canadian regional government for their broad-minded and inclusive marriage laws. They are both hoping the United States makes the right choice in recognizing same-sex unions
For all of you out there who have been coming to my site regularly, thank you for your support. Vincenzo and I have since opened the Fading Ad Gallery @ 679 Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn. Looking forward to your visit!
