Newspapers grapple with marriage announcements
Newspapers around the country are having trouble adapting to the new ceremonies involving same-sex couples. Up until 2002, very few newspapers would print any kind of ceremony to celebrate a same-sex couple. Since then, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has helped to promote the idea to newspapers around the country, and over two hundred newspapers now print such annoncements. With the parade of new weddings newspapers are trying to keep up with the changes. Some print them as weddings, while some have argued that their legality is questionable and have refused to print them at all.
