Gay marriage has never been illegal anywhere, as far as I am aware. Gay people have often married in the past, sometimes for dynastic reasons, though they might sometimes find themselves in the position of the young man in the limerick: There was a young queer of Khartoum who took a lesbian up to his room the argued all night over who had the right to do what, and with what, and to whom. what is new is same-sex marriage, which is, however of little genealogical significance (though it may become so if reproductive technology advances to the point where such things as male pregnancy become commonplace). It is, of course, significant for family history, and it is quite easy to add an "event" in Legacy to accommodate that. -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog: http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
