Members Lucky Posted February 26, 2012 Author Members Posted February 26, 2012 I didn't want to spoil the photo with words, but here is a response from the Marine in the picture, which is found on the Facebook page, Gay Marines: To everyone who has responded in a positive way. My partner and I want to say thank you. Dalan, the giant in the photo, can't believe how many shares and likes we have gotten on this. We didn't do this to get famous,or something like that we did this cause after 3 deployments and four years knowing each other, we finally told each other how we felt. As for the haters, let em hate...to quote Kat Williams, everyone needs haters, so let them hate. We are the happiest we have ever been and as for the whole PDA and kissing slash hugging in uniform...it was a homecoming, if the Sergeants Major, Captains, Majors, and Colonels around us didn't care...then why do you care what these random people have to say? In summation thank you for your love and support. I received a lot of friend requests off this. I don't just accept requests so if your request was because of this post message me and let me know. Goodnight all, and Semper Fi." --Brandon Morgan Read more: http://www.towleroad.com/#ixzz1nVymPTKQ Quote
Members OneFinger Posted February 26, 2012 Members Posted February 26, 2012 Love the pix and the positive responses. Things have sure changed for the better since I was in the military. It's refreshing to see progress like this. Quote

Guest EXPAT Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 This is as it should be. And Joe My God blog said that since they broke that picture that it has gone viral more than anything else they had ever posted. Quote
