TODAY opens wedding to same-sex couples
Over the past few days TODAY has received a considerable response regarding our
wedding contest application. The rules stated that eligible couples must be able to be
legally married in New York, where we will host the wedding, therefore excluding same-
sex couple applicants. Our intent was not to be discriminatory or exclusive. In 2005
when the wedding took place outside of New York, the application process was open
to same-sex couples. We have listened to every voicemail and read every email. We
take this feedback seriously, and we will change our application process. TODAY is a
longtime supporter of the LGBT community, and GLAAD considers us an ally. We are
committed to keeping those relationships strong and positive. We have opened up the
application process to same-sex couples, and will extend the deadline to Monday, July
12. Moving forward, we ensure that our future wedding contests will be inclusive of all
couples.

Day Wedding Contest' Opened to Same-Sex Couples", click here.
