Probably not a good idea.

Exactly the first thing that came to my mind when I first heard the news.

Judging from the sports news sites I read, it's one of the most hyped marital engagements of our time, so apparently there's something there to discuss...

Interesting that the News-Sentinel buried it on page C-6 yesterday.  Any news involving a current or former Lady Vol is normally front page sports section stuff.

Probably smart thinking on their part. In East Tennessee, these sorts of things are no-win situations for newspapers. I've discussed with our staff what we're going to do when we receive our first same-sex engagement notice for publication. It isn't a question of "if" but "when." If we decline to run it, we're going to be subject to a lawsuit that we can't win. If we run it, we're going to face a monumental backlash from our readers. Darned if you do, darned if you don't.  :banghead:

As the resident actor/artist of VTTW, it is my responsibility to continue to lessen my popularity here even further by saying, "That's wonderful.  I wish them a lifetime of happiness together and that in the near future when people who love each other choose to marry, even if the same sex, it is a complete non-issue... as it should be".
