Religious history of same-sex marriage: University of Waterloo expert
By Media RelationsProfessor Jeff Wilson of the Department of Religious Studies is available to talk about the religious history of same-sex marriage in North America.
Professor Wilson has conducted research on the faith-based marriage ceremonies for same-sex couples dating back to the 1950s in the United States and the 1970s in Canada.
“Many people assume that ministers would be against same-sex unions,” said Professor Wilson. "But some of them performed marriage ceremonies for couples long before there was any discussion of legalizing their unions in the eyes of the state."
