"Balloons, signs, tears, and joy may not be unusual sights on military bases when family and friends await their returning veteran’s safe return home from a long deployment, but a wedding proposal by a boyfriend to his Marine boyfriend is.

That’s what happened Tuesday at Camp Pendleton, when San Diego resident, Cory Huston, himself a Navy veteran once assigned to the Marines as a hospital corpsman asked Marine Avarice Guerrero to marry him.

It is believed to be the first proposal of marriage and engagement between two gay men – not to mention two war vets – on a US military base. In an exclusive, San Diego LGBT Weekly was there to photograph the historic proposal."

:smoochy:

This is news???

BERRYKISS INSPIRES: Gay Marine Leaps Into the Arms of His Boyfriend for Homecoming Kiss (http://berrykissinspires.blogspot.com/2012/02/gay-marine-leaps-into-arms-of-his.html)

Perhaps the big fella the marine has his legs wrapped around could be the corpseman? (spelled purposely)?

Did you call a press conference?

So....

Did nhboy say yes?

So....

Did nhboy say yes?

Once it wakes up from its swoon and catches its breath, I believe the answer will be "yes - take me, I'm all yours - have your way with me, please.....":popcorn:

Good thing they are maintaining their dignity and professionalism and not forcing their lifestyles into our faces and down our throats like we thought they were going to do..

I swear I remember somebody saying they weren't looking for EQUAL treatment, but special treatment, and that they could serve now (before the law change), and it wasn't a case of them just being gay in the military but flaunting the fact. and shoving their lifestyle choices down our throats (no pun intended!)

You suggesting the person that mentioned these things prior to the law being passed was WRONG??

You can't really say that they've "shoved anything down anyone's throat" (still no puns), if nhboy hadn't been trolling lgbt sites, you'd have never heard about this story.

It's been practicing that in the unlikely event that it gets to meet the Won.

Did you call a press conference?:banghead:

:banghead:
You just figured where you went off the rails, didn't you. Better luck next time on your newsworthy events, may it be as momentous as the last.

Who knew they had their own navy?

So....

Did nhboy say yes?

Now THAT would be queer wouldn't it?

TRUE, but;

In an exclusive, San Diego LGBT Weekly was there to photograph the historic proposal."


They invited journalists onto a military base to witness and document the proposal..

I would assume there are a LOT of hoops to jump through to get journalists from ANY magazine on a base for ANY reason. Either they told their command what they were doing, and got approval from the base commander for the LGBT journalists to be there, or they circumvented the rules (nice way of saying BROKE the rules) and the base commander wasn't even aware..

In today's environment they know the base commander (if in fact they did break the rules) will take NO action against them, as that would be construed to be homophobic, and against their rights.

I'm GUESSSING they blatantly broke the rules so they could have the opportunity to shove their lifestyle choices down everyone's throats (including the base commanders) with or without their consent.

You're going way out of your way to make this into some great homosexual conspiracy, that seems to say a lot more about you than it does about them.

I don't know about that particular base, but here it's no big deal to get people on base at all. No permission needed from a base commander for each visitor.

You note that they were journalists from a LGBT magazine, right? That means it was meant for the LGBT community.

Isn't shoving something down someone's throat part of the appeal?
