A rose is a rose
The Logan Herald Journal is drawing complaints for publishing an announcement for a lesbian "marriage" ceremony in Salt Lake City's Memory Grove.

Utah has a constitutional amendment permitting marriage only between a man and a woman.

Herald Journal reader Narayne Rougeau told KSL News the Logan paper should rename the wedding section "co-habitations" if it's going to print such announcements.

For them to say that the marriage was going to take place in Salt Lake City on the 8th of August, they knew that wasn't true. But they ran it anyway, under political correctness, or for whatever reason they chose to do that.

The Herald Journal argues that wedding ads are purchased and it offers equal access to the service.

Thank God Lavar Christensen is running for the Legislature again. He can run a bill making this illegal.

Awesome.

Leave it to a small town paper to show true balls.

I'm shocked to hear that the media is lying to the public again. What do you expect?

"Balls?" You really said that about lesbians getting "married?"
Talk about gender confusion . . .

Why, if the HJ had pulled this, say, back in Nauvoo in the early 1840s, Joe and bros woulda raid them, broken their presses to bits!

Bad blogger.

No cookie or balls for you.

I said the NEWSPAPER has balls. I see literacy skills are vastly under-appreciated in good ole Utah.
