NYT Changes Policy to Publish Gay, Lesbian Unions Monday, Aug. 19, 2002 NEW YORK (Reuters) - The New York Times, one of the most respected newspapers in the United States, said on Sunday it was changing its policy to publish formal gay and lesbian unions, joining scores of other dailies. Editor Howell Raines said in Sunday's editions the change to "Weddings/Celebrations" from "Weddings" in the long-running Sunday Styles section will begin next month. Gay and lesbian activists hailed the move. "We are delighted that The New York Times has changed its policy because it is in many ways the preeminent newspaper in this country," said spokesman John Sonego of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. "We are really hoping that their change in policy will lead to other newspapers across the country treating gay and lesbian unions in a more fair and accurate way."
