When did same-sex marriage become an issue?

Homosexuality has always been a political issue. Dating as far back as 2000B.C. the only difference is that any one found to be gay would executed or castrated. as the years went by homosexuality became more politically involoved when we started fighting for our rights. rights like marriage, adoption, filin taxes jointly, and many more. We still fight today but the biggest homosexual political event was the Stonewall Riots in NYC when a large number of homosexuals were kicked out local clubs. in the western world the 1960s was the time when people started to question orthodox wisdom and it grew from there. We are at a point now where homosexuality is becoming part of an acceptable reality.
