articlemain

A Jewish newspaper in New Jersey has banned same-sex marriage announcements, the day after the first happy couple had their nuptials printed. Justin Rosen and Avi Smolen's wedding announcement was in the Jewish Standard, complete with a smiling picture of the couple.

But after outraged comments on the newspaper's website, publisher James Janoff said they were reconsidering their decision.
