Best wishes to all the happy couples.

Would we be so accepting if they'd sent someone whose name is close to (or is) an ethnic slur to work an event for members of the offended group? "Beaner" is an actual last name; if a newspaper sent Robert Beaner to cover a Cinco de Mayo Parade, they'd need a forklift to bring in all the hate mail.

Everyone who worked the weddings that day produced beautiful images. Most of them didn't have that name. I would have kept him on the "everything else happening in town that day" team, and had other photographers work the weddings.

It's the guy's name. He didn't change his name specifically to that, so that the AP could sideline in an anti-LGBT slur.

It's a coincidence, a silly one.

Everytime the teacher said his last name, he would wink at me. Irritating. At least this guy is doing some good, not being an idiot.

Nice pictures!

What you are attempting to do just isn't there.

but what is the offense? I'm....out of the loop.

It was just another business call - guys name
