A gay couple from New Jersey is suing a group that used their engagement photo in an attack mailer against a Colorado Republican lawmaker who supported civil unions. The Southern Poverty Law Center plans to file a federal lawsuit today on behalf of the couple against the Virginia-based Public Advocate of the United States. The group used a photo of Brian Edwards and Tom Privitere holding hands and kissing. The mailer questioned the values of GOP Sen. Jean White, who faced a primary against a fellow Republican in a northwestern state district. White lost the primary.
