A same-sex couple will say 'I Do' in front of a billboard that denounces..

gay marriage.

(East Haven-WTNH, Oct. 22, 2004 7:30 AM ) _ A morning wedding in East Haven may cause some controversy later today. A same-sex couple is saying "I do" in front of a billboard denouncing gay marriage.

by News Channel 8's Jodi Latina
This wedding is not being held at your usual location. Today Florance Amore will marry her partner Joanie Miller in East Haven underneath two political billboards against gay marriage.

Presiding over the ceremony will be KC101's Vinnie Penn, who is an Ordained Minister.

The vows will be said under billboards such as the one that says "Protect Marriage Vote McCann.' Dan McCann is challenging 9-term incumbent State Representative Mike Lawlor.

It's really good to see and read that a great lot of Americans do feel the same way about this Bush nutcase the same way as we here in Germany do!

My prayers (and the prayers of the freedom- loving majority in Germany) go out to the brave Democratic folks in the US and to a happy outcome of the Nov. 2 showdown.

9. I'm sure my German was terrible. :-)

I was stationed there as a soldier in the U.S. Army, and I loved it! What a beautiful country. I hope to go back someday.
