The New York Times joins scores of other dailies when its Weddings announcement section becomes "Weddings/Celebrations" starting next month – reflecting its decision to publish formal gay and lesbian unions. The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune and San Francisco Chronicle are among the leading national dailies that already publish same-sex unions. "In making this change we acknowledge the newsworthiness of a growing and visible trend in society toward public celebrations of commitment by gay and lesbian couples -- celebrations important to many of our readers, their families and their friends," Editor Howell Raines wrote in Sunday's newspaper.
