Marine makes first same-sex marriage proposal in the White House
The American Military Partner Association
U.S. Marine Corps captain Matthew Phelps gets down on one knee to propose to partner Ben Schock on Saturday night in the first same-sex marriage proposal at the White House.
U.S. Marine Corps captain Matthew Phelps asked, and his partner Ben Schock said yes.
On Saturday night, Phelps was photographed getting down on one knee in what is believed to be the first same-sex marriage proposal ever made in the White House. The couple’s engagement came 14 months after the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell’’ policy officially ended, and the joyful photo was quickly passed around on social media shortly after it was posted online by the American Military Partner Association. The proposal occurred while Phelps and Schock were taking a Christmas tour of the White House together.
“Such a special night surrounded by wonderful people in an amazing place, and the best is still yet to come," Phelps wrote on his Facebook page. "Thanks for all the wonderful greetings and messages, and thanks to Barack Obama and Michelle Obama for lending us your home for the occasion!"
“Such a wonderful night for us, and it’s received so much attention on Facebook!’’ Phelps also wrote on his blog. “Really, the only thing on my mind was making it a memorable and unforgettable night for Ben. Thank you all for the well wishes!!"
Phelps, who came out publicly at the Pentagon last year, has spoken publicly about the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy," giving lectures and writing several posts about it on his blog including one on what the end of the policy meant to him.
"I have served my country for almost 10 years without so much as a peep about my social life,'' he wrote. "Indeed, I haven’t had much of a social life because of this . It’s my turn to live my life as openly as I want. If people have a problem with it, that’s exactly what it is: their problem. I love being gay because I came to accept it through years of struggle and introspection and self-discovery. It is a big part of who I am because in accepting the fact that I was gay, I came to know myself better and become the man I am today."

That's just sick. There is now a support group for every sin under the sun and the White House approves of them all.

Democratic Party has “adopted the sins of Romans 1 as their platform..

I hate to say it, but these are the words that I think apply:
God damn it!
This is the end of my beloved Corps, the birth of which predates the birth of the nation by eight months. Perhaps this ignominious end predates the end of the nation by a like amount.
God damn it, My sea-going Navy is sinking.! ` I see the ladies have BARF bags waiting..!
Send all of these guys to Afghanistan for some "FRAGgle Rock"! Marines "take care of" their own.
Brown shoes with a grey suit -- one would think that a fag could accessorize better.
LOL...very true.

I do not believe that they would survive as marines between their peers. Military is modelled after their Commander in Chief. In that light, nothing is surprising any more.
I remember a picture on a news site last summer of a woman (part of a gay/lesbian White House tour group) going down on 1 knee in front of a picture of George W Bush and proposing to her lesbian partner while several others showed the picture of Bush the finger. It may even have been in post here. Same title about first same sex w h proposal. Just shows the media's determined to get the destruction of traditional moral values pushed into the spotlight. By the way....IT'S NOT BARACK AND MICHELLES HOME...IT'S AMERICA'S HOME! Check out the history of the White House!
Pathetic...maybe O. or his friend Rahm can be best men...so disgusting...so morally disturbing...what's next in this disastrous guise of a government?!
