Gay Wedding Announcement Reaches Small-town Iowa
This item was posted in the comments section of Blog for Iowa earlier today by SousyHawk, a Democratic activist and Paul Johnson for Congress supporter over at the U of I:
The Register ran [this] bit in Borsellino's column:
Panora native Tobin Wirt got married this summer, and his hometown
paper – the Guthrie County Vedette – carried the announcement, with a
photo.
Wirt lives in Massachusetts, and he married Robert King.
Scott
Gonzales is the owner and editor of the paper, and he said this was a
first. He didn't have a problem with it because Wirt got the info in
within 90 days of the wedding “and that's our policy.”
According to the announcement:
“Wirt is
the son of Keith and the late Betty Wirt of Panora and is a 1973
graduate of Panora-Linden High and a 1979 graduate of UNI. King is the
son of Lawrence and the late Jean King of Duxbury, Mass., and a 1980
graduate of the University of Massachusetts. The pair has operated
restaurants on Cape Cod for two decades and recently sold their latest
venture and are enjoying some time off.”

SousyHawk went on to say:
Mr. Wirt posts on our “Hawkeye Report” site as “Grant Wood”. Stop by and wish him congratulations!
