"We don't believe anybody could read the piece we've published today, or look at the picture of the beaming couple on the front page, and not come away excited and happy for Jake and Hannah's future," a spokesperson for The Sun told Mashable.
"We have an ongoing relationship with members of the LGBTI community and spoke to one major representative group last night to ensure that our story was received in the spirit it was intended -- a celebration of a very modern romance."
The Sun was unable to confirm the name of the group, but described them as a "trans representative body who have campaigned on issues of representation in the media."
