Tonight, I sent a letter to the editor of the Union Leader denouncing their decision to exclude a same-sex marriage announcement from publication.
It is reprehensible that the Union Leader would exclude legal marriage in New Hampshire from publication because of their right-wing agenda. Legitimate minds can disagree over policy but once the law is settled, the paper should put aside differences and allow all couples to have equal access to their publication. Greg Gould and Aurelio Tine will become legally married this weekend and they should have the same opportunities as everyone in New Hampshire to have their marriage publicized and recognized.
As a former Attorney General, Kelly Ayotte should understand the importance of respecting equality for every New Hampshire citizen. Tonight, I'm calling on her to denounce the Union Leader and stand on the side of equal rights - and the law.
The full text of my letter is below the fold.
