Chase - AHN News Editor Manchester, NH, United States (AHN) - Two men in the process of planning for their upcoming nuptials have run into an unexpected snag regarding their wedding announcement. Despite gay marriage being legal in New Hampshire, the state's largest newspaper is refusing to run an announcement of the event. The Manchester Union Ledger, a well-known conservative publication, decided against printing the wedding announcement of Greg Gould and Aurelio Tine earlier this month. The two men are planning on getting married Saturday in Portsmouth and consider the announcement part of the celebration of their big day. Gould and his partner live in New York but Gould, being a Manchester native, said he was upset when the announcement wasn't printed. "I was really disappointed, because the Union Leader is a big voice in the state of New Hampshire, and they seem to be so out of touch," he told WMUR-TV. Even taking his complaint to the publisher didn't change anything or sway any opinions and Gould feels singling out gays with this policy is “vindictive.” The Union Leader, however, said it has a constitutional right to print what it wants and opposes the new law. The paper released a statement saying: "This newspaper has never published wedding or engagement announcements from homosexual couples. It would be hypocritical of us to do so given our belief that marriage is and needs to remain a social and civil structure between men and women." New Hampshire is one of five states to have legalized gay marriage. Gay marriage was legalized in New Hampshire in March 2009. Mo Baxley, executive director of N.H. Freedom to Marry, isn’t surprised by the paper’s stance or the publisher’s position. “The Union Leader’s opposition to gays and lesbians being treated equally under the law is no secret to those of us that live in New Hampshire,” Baxley said in a written statement. Other papers in the state do publish gay wedding announcements.
