I've always heard marriage was a tradition that Christians took from Pagan religions in an attempt to convert Pagans to Christianity. This could very well be wrong though considering my source wasn't exactly an unbias party and it was used in an argument on why she didn't like most Christians...x.o

Well, I'm not sure if the Christians took "Marriage" from the pagans or not, but Marriage as in the idea of it (I.E. Forever together.) does date back to the old world, long before Christianity, where two tribes would contractually marry two people to ally both tribes.

This was before the Dark Ages, The Crusades, The Roman empire and the rise of Christianity, possibly before religions ever even existed.

Correct. Also, in those days homosexuals were in less of a position. Homosexuals have more position today even in the time of the Greeks and Romans. That is true progression and no one should stand in the way of their need to get married to their love.
