Is Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury the first anime series to depict a married same-sex couple?

Given the rings and comments from the staff (excluding Bandai) it's pretty clear that both Suletta and Miorine are married. And looking at older anime couples I can't find another one where the characters are actually married to one another.

There are series that depict engagements and proposals (implied or otherwise with queer characters).

Some examples would be:

Yuri & Viktor from Yuri on Ice, where it's implied that they want to be engaged.

Ranma & Akane from Ranma 1/2, both find themselves in an arranged engagement but end up falling for each other anyway. Ranma is canonically genderfluid in both the anime and manga and Akane is attracted to Ranma as both a man and a woman. And this is ignoring all of Ranma's other fiances who know about their curse and want to be in a relationship with them anyway.

Utena & Anthy from Revolutionary Girl Utena, while the circumstances of their engagement are out of their control, the two of them fall deeply in love with one another despite that. And in the movie they kiss.

Other LGBT anime couples are together or in love but next explicitly depicted as engaged or married would be:

Michiru Tenou & Haruka Kaiou from Sailor Moon, they are very much together and in the Crystal series end up living together and adopting a baby.

Yukito Tsukishiro & Touya Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura, who are in love with one another.

Eiji Okumura & Ash Lynx from Banana Fish, who are in love with one another. And it hurts.

Yuu Koito & Touko Nanami from Bloom Into You, who are two girls who fall in love with one another. And in the story you watch them grow and get closer.

Nezumi & Shion from No. 6, a sci-fi drama where two boys fall in love. This one also hurts.

And countless other examples, none of which I could find have the characters taking their relationship further than dating or engagement.

So, is Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury the first married same-sex couple in anime?

On a minor note, there have been several gay weddings depicted in manga.

Some examples would be:

Our Dreams At Dusk by Yuhki Kamatani, which was written by an asexual, X-gender author.

Until I Meet My Husband by Ryousuke Nanasaki and illustrated by Yoshi Tsukizuki. This manga was written by a gay man and based on his own essays about his life. The manga is auto-biographical.

I Married My Best Friend To Shut My Parents Up by Kodama Naoko, who has written several other LGBT manga, most of which are Yuri.

And there are several more!

Bonus:

Shoutout to Episode 7 of the 80s anime Dirty Pair for having a wedding between a cis man and a trans woman in one episode.

"I'm bored. Take your clothes off"

"Oh! Well, you don't have to tell me twice"

He blinks, pausing just a moment to look at his wife

"Is this going where I hope it's going?"

Kindergarten crush (Open rp)

It was recess at Toby's kindergarten and he was playing in the sandbox, making a sandcastle. Suddenly, the three bully kids came along, stomped on his castle and kicked sand in his face, which made Toby cry.

"Toby's a crybaby! Toby's a crybaby!" They all chanted.

"Hey, that's enough!" The newest girl in Toby's class came to his side, standing bravely between him and the bullies. "You better leave him alone!"

"Who's gonna make us?" Kevin, the leader, asked.

"I am!" she proclaimed, but the three kids looked at her and laughed.

"What are you gonna do? Make us sit down for a tea party?" they continued laughing, but the leader suddenly got a mouthful of sand. She picked up some sand and threw it in their faces. She looked ready to rumble, but the kids ran off coughing and rubbing their eyes. She stood triumphantly while Toby watched in awe. He felt something flutter in his belly when he watched her.

"Hey, are you okay?" the girl asked, helping him up.

"U-Um, yeah, I'm-I'm okay. Thank you." he answered.

"No problem. Those guys were jerks, but don't let them put you down. I like your ears and tail, by the way; I like dogs!" Toby felt his face get hot as he blushed. Soon, the bell rang for lunchtime.

"See you later!" she smiled and went inside. As he watched her go, Toby felt weird. He was all warm and fuzzy inside. Could it be that he was experiencing...his first crush?

... " you know it's rather rude to stare at someone who is different in appearance, right? Did being on the roof tops give you a high ego?"

It’s a bit of a lapse how they send Kamille to Glasgow to keep him out of the way of a Colony Drop targeting Dublin. An object that size being thrown at the Earth should be closer to a Dinosaur-Killer Asteroid, make a nuclear bomb look like a firecracker. Nowhere in the British Isles would be safe, probably nowhere in Western Europe.

Maybe I'm a bit thrown off because later Gundam media like 08th MS Team and Gundam: The Origin had more hard sci-fi sensibilities, showed the Operation British colony drop killing billions of people with tsunamis and climate change beyond just the initial impact fireball. A massive crater where Sydney, Australia used to be and snow falling in the jungles of Southeast Asia

Nevertheless, it’s kinda weird how normal Earth looks in Gundam Unicorn and Hathaway, how there’s still an overpopulation problem. After the various massive impacts between MSG and Char’s Counterattack, Earth should be a wasteland, in the middle of the biggest mass extinction since The Great Dying. Maybe that plays a bigger role in Gundam F91, Gundam Crossbone, and Victory Gundam. I haven't gotten around to those yet.

specifically putting ice spice on karma, the song about how great life is for taylor because she’s just such a good person, where the first line of the chorus is “karma is my boyfriend”, is really fucking insidious when it’s her current boyfriend that laughed at/made racist jokes about ice spice specifically not that long ago. and then she brings her out on stage and holds her hand and there’s this dead look in ice spice’s eyes like she’s just waiting for all this to be over, like she’s just doing this for the money and exposure or contractual obligations, and it’s fucking torture to watch. taylor’s walking her around like a pet. her patronizing, demeaning approach to this situation has only reestablished the belief that taylor is a racist white woman using white women tears and white feminism to get what she wants at the expense of not just black people as a whole, but black women, because she needs to feel better than other women to truly feel like she’s won.
