I'm going to comment on a story that we, even here at Pam's House Blend, referred to as a same-sex marriage in our piece NY: officials duped into granting marriage license to same-sex couple.

I'm angry regarding how this story is being covered. This is not a same-sex marriage story; this is a transgender person not being able to marry the one she loves story. This is a story about why marriage equality is more than a gay and lesbian story; part of why marriage equality is a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community civil rights issue.

Looks like they fixed up the Advocate article, changing to the correct pronouns.
