Homosexual weddings come from ... medieval times
That is the claim of historian Allan Tulchin of Shippensburg University, Pennsylvania, USA. The historical evidence that he found a lot on tombstones and legal papers revealed that: gay gay weddings were inherently popular in Europe from over 600 years ago.
If this speculation is true, marriage between people of the same gender is not only nothing new but no ancient taboo.
'Medieval European legal system has clear rules for different types of family structures - much more diverse than we can imagine today' - historian writes in Modern History Magazine September edition.

For example, in legal papers in France and some medieval European Mediterranean countries, Tulchin found that only leads to the term ' affrrerement ', understood by ' brothers '.
As a rule, these ' brothers ' are responsible for living together and sharing ' bread, wine, wallet' (original French word ' un pain, un vin, et une bourse '). . ' Sharing of money ' means that your personal property after marriage will become common.
As well as marriage certificate, ' brother contract ' must be sworn in the presence of witnesses and legal representatives.
This type of voucher was originally a legal document for siblings sharing the same roof left by their parents and did not want to be separated. Their families themselves also make up a part of society. Later, it was used as a valid document of the single men who did not share the blood to open their long-term relationship with each other.
'This relationship is not necessarily related to sexual issues, maybe they love each other, want to stick and just simply move in together, and it is important that society accepts it'.
