Not the First Gay Marriage on TV

[edit]

This article currently says this was the first gay marriage "within American culture"— whatever the heck that is supposed to mean. If the writer meant this was the first gay marriage on a popular TV series, he or she is wrong: it is far from the first. There was a gay marriage as far back as the early 1990s on the weekly dramedy Northern Exposure, and there have been others since then. Timothy Horrigan (talk) 01:49, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reese and Bianca's wedding/marriage was the first gay/lesbian marriage on an American soap opera/daytime drama, which the lead (intro) very clearly states. This is backed up by various reliable sources. It did/does not say "the first gay marriage on television ever." It is distinguished by the words "American," "soap opera" and "daytime drama." Yes, part of the lead says "Though the wedding received praise for being the first within American culture," but most people should realize that we are speaking of the first within American soap opera...since that is specified earlier. If you feel that we need to put "soap opera" or "daytime drama" yet again, then that can be done. And judging by your misunderstanding, we might need to.
