Yet they have Trump on the front page daily, the guy who fucks pornstars while his wife is pregnant and has openly cheated on all his wives publicly.

"The newspaper's publisher, Phillip Hamilton, says he's a bi-vocational Baptist pastor. He declined an interview but said in a statement, “It is my religious conviction that a male cannot have a husband. It is also my belief that to publish anything contrary to God's Word on this issue would be to publish something in the newspaper that is not true.""

‘Like he didn’t exist’: Texas paper edits grieving gay son out of mom’s obituary because it’s ‘contrary to God’s Word’ | FoxNews

Barry Giles and John Gambill have been together for 31 years. When Giles’ mother passed away, the local newspaper in Olton, northwest of Lubbock, removed Gambill's name from her obituary. They cited "religious and ethical reasons."

Gambill says his mother-in-law was family to him. So when he saw he was cut out of the obituary, he was immediately suspicious. The couple called the newspaper to find out what happened.

A Dallas couple believes they were discriminated against in a newspaper because of their marriage.

Barry Giles and John Gambill have been together for 31 years. When Giles’ mother passed away, the local newspaper in Olton, northwest of Lubbock, removed Gambill's name from her obituary. They cited "religious and ethical reasons."

Gambill says his mother-in-law was family to him. So when he saw he was cut out of the obituary, he was immediately suspicious. The couple called the newspaper to find out what happened.

“We're human beings like anyone else,” Giles said. “We have feelings. We have relationships, whether he agrees with them or not.”

In more than three decades together, Giles and Gambill say they often took family trips with Giles' late mother, Brenda Light, and cared for her when she moved closer to them in Dallas.

“She's like my second mom, you know,” Gambill said.

When Light passed away suddenly from a fall in February, the couple included both their names in her obituary.

In the obit sent to the newspaper, Giles wrote "Those left to cherish her memory include her son, Barry Giles and his husband, John Gambill of Dallas.”

But when the obit was published in the Olton Enterprise in Giles' hometown, Gambill wasn't in there.

“It wiped John completely off the picture like he didn't exist,” Giles said.

Gambill called the newspaper publisher right away.

“I said, ‘Why was my name left out?’ And he said, ‘Because I wanted to.’ And that's all there was to the conversation,” Gambill said. “Of course, I had a few choice words to say to him.”

I read that earlier in the week and wondered at the legality of being paid to publish something and refusing on moral grounds. It was on Tuesday I think and commenters wrote mostly against this guy's actions. You pay for an obituary and lengthy ones cost a lot. For my father they charged $175 for six paragraphs (he belonged to many organizations and was involving in semi-pro sports) and I argued with my mom about it. If it costs $175 for a quarter-page ad, then we want equivalent space for his obituary.

If the family wants his son and husband listed, then do so. Discrimination might be normal in some areas but it's not right.

My obituary will mention I owned my own business, published a magazine and had many websites, but the topic of the subject matter won't be listed. But that's MY choice, not that of a publisher of a local newspaper.
