OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - After a flurry of criticism, the Omaha World-Herald is easing its ban on gay marriage announcements to allow notices about legally recognized same-sex unions.
World-Herald Publisher Terry Kroeger announced the change Tuesday, a week after an online firestorm erupted about the newspaper’s refusal to print a lesbian couple’s commitment notice.
Kroeger says the World-Herald may have been slow to react to this issue, but the newspaper never hated gays and lesbians.
