(CNN) -- A North Dakota newspaper is reviewing its
policy against printing same-sex wedding announcements in response to a
social media campaign that has drawn international scrutiny.
It took less than 12 hours for the Fargo Forum to address the controversy Monday after the paper's "celebrations editor" e-mailed Allison Johnson, saying the paper would not publish her wedding announcement. Dianna Baumann also promised to refund the $25 publication fee.
