[Ads-l] Antedating of "Gay Marriage"

[Shapiro, Fred]

gay marriage (OED 1971)


1964 _Gay_ (Toronto, Canada) 15 June 8 (Archives of Sexuality & Gender)  If such value is put on gay marriage by men of God, surely we, ourselves should take it more seriously and even society will see the advantages of encouraging gay people to hold up their heads and be proud that they are creatures of God with the courage of their convictions.
