More SSM Domination

One of Australia's most popular wedding publications, White, has been criticised by contributors who say the magazine refuses to feature same-sex couples but won't publicly admit it.

Text messages between the magazine's editor and a photographer reveal the publication isn't including gay weddings.

An Australian wedding magazine will close after contributors revealed it was refusing to feature same-sex weddings in a decision which caused controversy and saw advertisers withdraw their sponsorship.

White Magazine made headlines in August after text messages between the magazine's editor and a photographer revealed the publication wasn't including gay weddings.

Advertisers, photographers, videographers and celebrants then turned to social media to share stories about their interactions with White. Many said they had been ignored after submitting same-sex content.

A farewell note published on White Magazine's website on Saturday said they had recently experienced "a flood of judgement" and lost a number of advertisers.

"A campaign was launched targeting the magazine, our team and our advertisers. Couples who have featured in our magazine have also been the subject of online abuse despite their individual beliefs. We're really saddened by this," the post said.

"The result has been that a number of advertisers withdrew their sponsorship out of fear of being judged, or in protest. We have had to recognise the reality that White Magazine is no longer economically viable."

"We hope that one day soon our society can learn to accept people's differences and different points of view and love each other no matter what."

In a video which accompanies the note, co-founder Luke Burrell said he understands how the magazine's standpoint may have been "hurtful" to some.

"[But] why can't we have diversity in our thoughts and feelings?" he said.

The announcement was met with mixed reactions on social media.

"As a business you should have been able to put your personal religious beliefs aside," one Facebook user wrote.

While another said, "we as a society scream for diversity, yet when it comes to diversity of beliefs there is just no room".

Why should a wedding publication HAVE to feature gay weddings or be bullied into closure?

Why should a hetero couple have to shuffle through pages of "him and him" or "her and her" when that is not their interest?

Why do these minority groups have to force their way of life onto people who are different to them? Shouldn't acceptance of choice be enough?

What a shame White Magazine didn't follow your advice, Black Orchid. Don't worry, the world is a changin' and for the better.

So when you buy your next $25 publication on the latest stylish burkas you won't mind half of it being bikini clad women?

I don't invest in magazines, Black Orchid. I find such frippery just that, frippery. However, I suspect many males would be quite happy to look at such pictures. Are you posing?
