Federal Judge Bans Use Of Gay Wedding Photo
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/03/031005photo.htm

congratulations boys!

A federal judge Thursday issued a restraining order prohibiting a conservative group from using a picture of a gay Portland, Oregon in an ad condemning the American Association for Retired People.

The action came one day after M. Raymen and Steven P. Hansen filed a $25 million damage suit against those behind the ad, accusing them of illegally using their image. (story)

The ad, by USA Next, is attacking the AARP for opposing the Bush administration's proposed changes to Social Security and attempts to "discredit" the organization by suggesting it supports gay marriage and opposes the war in Iraq.

5. Excellent News... But Just The First Step
This will go up the appellate ladder... then to the CA Supreme Court and ultimately to the USSC.
