On the left ring finger, just like straight people.
I am a minister and perform Holy Unions/ Gay Weddings all the time. Message me privately if you need any help with any planning.
Congrats!

I think it's an individual thing for you to decide. Like...if I were to get married tomorrow, I'd probably wear it differently somehow just as a symbol of the fight that still needs to happen. For other people, it's more important symbolically that it really is the exact same thing. And then you can start considering other people's perceptions; people might get a little confused if it's on the right hand, but everyone knows what it means on the left hand. Something you should talk to your partner about, perhaps.
Oh, and...Congratulations. :D

Well my partner and I share our rings on the left ring finger and our rings are different only because I liked one style and she preferred another. After all its not what the ring looks like or costs its the meaning right :)

First Congrats! And the symbol of marriage is on the left ring finger. As for whether you should get the same ring, thats up to you two. Again congrats, and a long lifetime of happiness!!!

When I get married I think it would be a better symbol of unity to have the same ring. The straighties start on the left hand for engagement and I think switch it to the right when married or is it the other way around.... We however don't have to do what they do if we don't want.
Yes I said WHEN I get MARRIED because I will some day and my government will give us the same recognition and benefits.

Congrats! That's exciting... I just asked my partner to marry me and we don't do the ring thing. I don't know, maybe someday :) All in all, I think that you should just wear your rings however you want to. Whatever makes it feels special to you ;) I think traditionally, it's just like a heterosexual married couple. The left hand, and ring finger.

Though there is no 'official' answer to this question, my partner and I wear our rings in the traditional manner; left hand, ring finger. We believe our union to be as valid as any other and therefore deserving of the same treatment and tradition.
Congratulations on your union! Mazel tov and a thousand blessings on your heads!

IMO, it's a marriage like any other. Ring finger of left hand and be proud! (I know you are...I can sense it)
You can wear the same rings or different...just like any other couple.
Congratulations!

I wear mine on my right hand, on my middle finger one away from the ring finger. symbolizes the same thing to me, but just one finger away
