About this Petition Petition Letter

We have created this petition as a next step in our initiative to change a discriminatory policy held by the Omaha World Herald.  The Omaha World Herald recently refused to publish the engagement announcement of Kristy Wilke and Jessica Kitzman because of their stated policy that they do not publish same-gender wedding or engagement announcements.  We have since heard from many couples who have had similar experiences with the Omaha World Herald in the past.  Help us take the necessary steps to change this discriminatory policy!

Policy against publishing same-gender announcements

Greetings,

We are writing to formally request a change in your policy of not allowing the publication of same-gender wedding and engagement announcements in your newspaper. We find this policy discriminatory and a violation of our rights as Americans. Attached please find the names of people who support our request, and stand with us in our quest for equal rights.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
