::: Troy Perry conducted the first same-sex wedding in California in the late 1960's.  Today I watched a review of the documentary where he was interviewed at the time, with footage of such a ceremony and interview with Perry at the time, on Alan Whicker's retrosepctive of "Whicker's World", which was broadcast in April this year.  Weddings are part-and-parcel of Christian marriage, and marriage is not confined to civil and common-law marriages, but includes religious forms of marriage (whether recognised by the state or not).
