NY Times June 27, 2014: Same-Sex
Marriages, 10 Years Later
"On May 23, 2004, The New York Times
printed 41 wedding announcements that included 5 same-sex couples, the first
legal gay marriages to appear in these pages. (It began publishing same-sex
“celebrations” two years earlier.)
"Earlier that week, Massachusetts had
become the first state
to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Nineteen states and the District of
Columbia do so now and on Wednesday, a federal appeals court struck down Utah’s
same-sex
marriage ban."

And it was only in 1996 that the governing party of the United States Congress publicly expressed "moral disapproval of homosexuality".
