In a move as confusing as it is exciting the Coquille Tribe on the southern Oregon coast has just legalized marriage on their land And Kitzen and Jeni Branting, in a committed lesbian relationship since high school, will soon be legally wed.

Though most Native American cultures have been fairly accepting of a
wide range of genders and sexualities, sometimes honoring "two-spirits"  as shamans, contemporary tribal laws have mostly banned same-sex marriage.
