POPSIowa Wedding Announcement "Nonetheless, we appreciate the interest… …Same-sex marriage is legal in Iowa, where the couple lives and plans to marry. Since one of the young men is originally from Elkhart and his family still lives here, we did the same thing we’d do for any other local family with a child getting married — we published the couple’s engagement announcement. We fulfilled our role as a paper of record. We documented an engagement, something we do hundreds of times each year. Protesters asked why we would publish a story about something illegal in Indiana. Basically, it’s because an informed citizenry, a citizenry capable of thinking for itself, needs uncensored news from a variety of sources. That includes states and nations where the law does not conform to Indiana’s." Of all the things to get one's panties tied up in a bunch about, this beats the cake. Can't people worry about the economy or something really important?
