So some of you said you doubted it would happen..

.. a Marine and his boyfriend recently shared a public kiss after he returned home from duty.. They look very happy together.

..supposedly the reaction is fairly positive.

Official Marine Corps reaction -> "The picture is your typical homecoming photo"

Gotta love that they play a little disco music break after the story.

Awesome post, Elian. Goes to prove that it wasn't biphobia, it was luck of the draw on the other pic. Just a great story and I'm very happy for them and all the other members of the LGBT serving in our armed forces.

I don't know that I would call this "public" since it's in a private area for families and the like of returning marines. THAT being said... I love this photo it makes me very happy to see... their love is so inspiring.

BTW, I don't mean to sound pissy, but in other parts of the internet there has been some people saying they shouldn't be flaunting their romance so publicly... I'm just a little short on sleep, so forgive me for being snippy if I was. I just wanted to pre-empt that criticism.
