Lesbian Couple to Hold First Gay Marriage in Swaziland

Two ladies have taken a bold decision to marry each other—in a first ever gay marriage case for this country that will no doubt set the tongues wagging. The lesbians have come out publicly to state their case for a first gay marriage case as they intend to get married in just six months. The couple held its engagement ceremony yesterday afternoon, which was attended by family members and friends. The words, ‘would you marry me’ are said by normally straight man and female couples when they declare their intentions of taking their relationships to the next level—which is marriage. However, in Manzini yesterday these words were said by a female who was charming another female when proposing marriage. This was history in the making because the woman who was being proposed agreed and in six months time the couple will happily exchange their vows. Full Story from the Times of Swaziland
