So much for "preserving" the "institution" of marriage: - a great new article about the very long history of gay marriage on MSNBC:

Civil unions between male couples existed around 600 years ago in medieval Europe, a historian now says.

Historical evidence, including legal documents and gravesites, can be interpreted as supporting the prevalence of homosexual relationships hundreds of years ago, said Allan Tulchin of Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania.

And of course, we know the conspicuously ambiguous story of David and Saul in the Bible.
