Same Sex Marriage Coverage Causes Uproar

The Laurel Leader-Call, a newspaper found in Mississippi, recently ran a story on a same sex couple that got married. It was displayed on the front page of the paper and told the story of Jessica Powell and Crystal Craven. Members of the community that do not favor same sex marriage received the paper and were outraged, making malicious comments. Do you think the paper should be able to run the story without such a backlash?
