US Papers Refusing to Print Civil Union/Gay Wedding Announcements

A number of American newspapers in states where gay marriage is illegal are refusing to print announcements of civil unions. A male couple from Missouri who married in Iowa were rejected when they requested an announcement in their local paper. Since gay marriage is still illegal in Missouri, the state’s newspapers do not recognise it and can refuse to print announcements of same-sex unions. The couple told WQAD.com: "It didn't take long before they responded back we do not do same sex marriages or commitment ceremonies in our paper." Full Story from PinkNews.co.uk
