[100] In 1901, a woman in Spain adopted a male identity and married another woman. The couple was later discovered and had to escape to Argentina. Their marriage certificate was never annulled, so this is the first recorded same-sex marriage in Spain, 100 years before it was legal.

1. That must have been a crazy adventure, imagine bucking all of the social norms that hard with zero support or even a frame of reference

2. What strikes me the most is that there wasn’t any novel or movie based on this story.

   Seguro que eran amiguitas /s

4. Not to be mean, but legally it was not a same-sex marriage and not recognised as that, so this post is a bit meaningless…

5. En la cultura guanche existian los matrimonios homosexuales y el divorcio mucho antes. Muuuucho muuuucho antes.
