It appears that this page and the Same Sex Marriage in the United States page disagree on which same sex marriage was the "first," between Michael McConnell and Jack Baker's in 1971 and Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon's in 2004. Clearly either of the two could count as the "first" depending on some nuances, but it makes no sense to make the same claim for two different marriages on two different related pages. Am I missing something here? I can't see a discussion on either page about the discrepancy. -- Gold Broth ( talk) 22:00, 22 July 2023 (UTC) reply

It would be great to have an animated map graphic showing the spread of same-sex marriage legalization across the United States. Do we have any technical graphics wizards up to make one? - Kudzu1 ( talk) 14:24, 26 June 2015 (UTC) reply
