The first historical mention of the performance of same-sex marriages occurred during the early Roman Empire.
Child emperor Elagabalus referred to his chariot driver, a blond slave from Caria named Hierocles, as his husband. He also married an athlete named Zoticus in a lavish public ceremony in Rome amidst the rejoicings of the citizens.
In modern times, it happened just after midnight on April 1, 2001 in the Amsterdam City Hall in the Netherlands. The mayor of Amsterdam married a female couple, Anne-Marie Thus and Helene Faasen, and three male couples. It was broadcast live on Dutch television.

∙ 12y agoThis is a difficult question to ask. If you want exact names, the earliest reference I can find is this:
On May 18, 1970, Richard Baker and James Michael McConnell applied for a marriage license in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They were denied and later sued. They lost in the Minnesota Supreme Court and appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court (Baker v. Nelson) which dismissed the case on October 10, 1972 for lack of a substantial federal question. (Presumably, this means the Court believed marriage was a state issue only.)
