Freedom Urges Papers to Run Gay Union Notices

Posted
By: Lucia Moses Freedom Communications Inc. encourages its newspapers to publish same-sex union announcements, but does not have a policy requiring them to do so, said Jon Segal, president of the Irvine, Calif.-based company's community-newspaper division. He corrected a "News Pop" posted Jan. 7 on the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's Web site (http://www.glaad.org) that named Freedom as the "first national newspaper chain" to enact such a policy.

Segal said, however, that he believes accepting same-sex union announcements is in accord with the company's libertarian philosophy.
