This was supposed to be the announcement prior to their wedding party. However,Tyler Barrick and Spencer Jones had to fight homophobia from their townhome newspaper, before being able to toast with family and friends. Even though more than 1,000 papers nationwide have policies allowing same-sex wedding and engagement announcements, The Spectrum in St. George, Southern Utah decided not to publish the annoucement for Barrick and Jones because "only legal marriages" are published in that news paper. The Spectrum thus tried to wind up by alleging that "Gay marriage" is not legal in Utah. Fortunately, another news paper -The Salt Lake Tribune, agreed to run the announcement.
Here's my tribute to Tyler and Spencer: Cheers!
