North Dakota paper publishes same-sex wedding announcements

After changing an existing ban, Fargo’s main publication, The Forum, will accept for publication announcements of same-sex marriages, engagements and anniversaries if the marriage takes place in a state or country where it’s legally recognized.

“We inform the public, plain and simple,” said editor Matt Von Pinnon. “We report on many, many things that we neither endorse nor condemn. That’s the nature of news. Some people would like us to deny that gay marriage is legally recognized in several states and countries. To not recognize that fact is to deny or distort the truth, something we’re not willing to do.
