Sometimes challenging convention in support of equality does pay off. The Greensboro News & Record, is now going to allow same-sex couples to fully participate in its wedding contest, dropping its requirement for a NC marriage license. John Robinson, the editor of the paper, contacted me just a few moments ago with the news.
“We’ve dropped the rule about the N.C. marriage license from the wedding contest.
“Thanks for your challenge and feedback about inclusivity. It took a little longer than we would have liked because we needed to discuss it with the other ‘wedding’ partners and then get the lawyer’s OK to change the rules after the contest started.”
