gay marriage We have been instructed not to call it "gay marriage" anymore Don't Call It 'Same-Sex' Marriage, Advocates Say By Susan Jones CNSNews.com Morning Editor February 11, 2004 (CNSNews.com) - The National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association says the terms "gay marriage" and "same-sex marriage" are inaccurate and misleading and should not be used. Given the rapidly expanding news coverage of the situation in Massachusetts, the NLGJA is urging all media professionals to use "accurate and clear terminology" in reporting. In an open letter to "fellow journalists," the NLGJA noted that the decision made by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court affects the state's existing marriage law. "The court has ordered the state to apply the existing law equally to gay and lesbian couples as early as May 2004. The accurate terminology -- on-air, in headlines and in body type -- should be 'marriage for gays and lesbians,'" the letter said. cnsnews.com
