These two articles show news on same sex marriages and how the liberals are more for it then than conservatives. In The Union Leader, a paper for the Boston region, refused to put the names of the two individuals getting married in the paper and the couple got help from high power Democrats to get their name put in. New Hampshire helped the couple posting this statement, "The Union Leader’s opposition to gays and lesbians being treated equally under the law is no secret to those of us that live in New Hampshire." While some are shocked about this, Michael K. Lavers who grew up in New Hampshire is not surprised stating, "It is not at all surprising the Union Leader decided not to publish this couple’s wedding announcement," said Lavers. "The newspaper’s conservative--and even anti-gay--editorial positions are widely known. While unfortunate, the newspaper’s decision should not surprise anyone." The conservative newspaper responded with a statement saying that they have never put homosexual marriages in their newspaper and, "It would be hypocritical of us to do so, given our belief that marriage is and needs to remain a social and civil structure between men and women."
