Hah... Their photo choice and caption is great. It's two women hugging and the caption says, "Maya Scott-Chung, left, and Beth Teper, friends who support gay marriage but are not a couple, reacted to the court's decision in San Francisco."
Lovely to announce the "relationship status" of the two women. Laaame.
Hey all- I'm actually the Maya Scott-Chung in the photo with Beth Teper, who actually IS my friend , not my partner. Several other papers listed us as partners because we were hugging and crying- but since I've been with my actual partner MeiBeck for almost 11 years and she wasn't able to attend due to work, I APPRECIATED that they said we were friends. Though it was kind of funny how many reporters assumed we were partners.
