The Dallas Morning News is on the receiving end of a discrimination complaint filed under the city's fair housing ordinance. You might think their offense was running a classified ad for a housing complex limited to whites only. Not so.
The offended couple is a gay couple who "married" in Washington, D.C. They want to put a marriage announcement in the paper. But The News' policy is that they don't run marriage announcements for marriages not recognized in this neck of the woods. They'll run a "commitment" announcement for the perverts, but as far as Texans are concerned, they can't be married. The pervert couple says that the discrimination policy regarding public accommodations includes paid announcements in the newspaper.
I don't like the policy of running commitment announcements, but I do commend the newspaper for not giving in to the ridiculous sham of running marriage announcements for two men or two women.
