TN newspapers at bottom of HRC report

A new report by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) shows that 1,049 daily U.S. newspapers now accept wedding announcements from gay and lesbian couples.

The new figure represents a more than fifteen-fold increase since Aug. 18, 2002, when The New York Times opened its Weddings/Celebrations pages to gays and lesbians. While the study showed a large nationwide increase in the number of inclusive mainstream newspapers, it also showed that Tennessee was the state with the lowest percentage of inclusive papers. Only 15 of the state's mainstream newspapers, about one in three, accept announcements from gays and lesbians.
