Whatever marriage HAS been in its many changeable varieties throughout the ages, the one thing it has NOT been is what marriage-equality opponents claim it has ALWAYS been. Sure, most of us already know most of these things, but here it is all written out for us in a very orderly, very readable way. As a medievalist, my attention was particularly caught by arguments against DOMA on Twitter and elsewhere that asserted that Christianity and history unilaterally agreed that marriage means one woman and one man and coitus. This simply isnt historically accurate even within the context of Christianity and European history.
