Gay Marine Proposes to Boyfriend

via Advocate.com:

Boyfriends Matt and Russ, the two Marines who have a delightful habit of posting adorable videos on Russ’s YouTube channel RussMarine2014, have melted our hearts once again by sharing a video of Matt proposing to Russ.

The proposal, which was a surprise Matt had been planning for months, took place at Russ’s welcome home party, where the couple was celebrating alongside a few of their friends.

Russ, who recently returned from a military operation in the desert, writes on his YouTube page, “Matt completely surprised me by proposing during my welcome home party. It turns out he had been planning it for months. I am so happy!”

This.. this is adorable. :)

Note: For the proposal, you can start watching after 3:58

MISSING HUSBAND
David and Jason’s story, shared by The DOMA Project.

From The Advocate:

David and Jason first met in a Los Angeles restaurant seven years ago. On September 7, 2012, they were legally married in New York, but since Jason is from the United Kingdom, it is nearly impossible for him to obtain legal citizenship, because the federal Defense of Marriage Act prohibits gay and lesbian Americans from sponsoring their foreign-born spouses for citizenship. Heterosexual couples in this country are readily allowed to sponsor a spouse for full citizenship.

Since they met, David and Jason have been separated 17 times. Each time Jason is allowed to enter the country, it is only as a tourist, with a 90-day visa. Together, the couple has been through enough tearful goodbyes to last them a lifetime.

For decades, same-sex couples have been separated due to DOMA, being forced out of the U.S once their visa expires,  then laid at the mercy of their home country to approve their next visa. Many never even get that chance.

Before they were separated for the last time, Jason was hoping to file the H-1B three-year work visa. Days before their anniversary, he found out that he wasn’t approved. They still have no idea when they are going to see each other. They’ve spent nearly every anniversary apart.

This is incredibly strong and heartfelt; I couldn’t hold my tears. Make sure to not miss this and watch the video above.

Krista Siegfrids performed her song ‘Marry Me’ at Eurovision In Concert in Amsterdam, and kissed her back up in protest against Finland’s ban on gay marriage From her interview with The Independent: “I don’t think ‘Marry Me’ is political, it’s about love and tolerance. But gay marriage is not allowed in Finland and that’s wrong. I wanted to make a statement about that.” The European Broadcasting Union may ban the controversial conclusion to Siegfrids’s performance – a “gay kiss” with her female dance team – to appease broadcasters in Eastern Europe, where homophobia still thrives. The Russian parliament passed a bill outlawing “homosexual propaganda” in March. Siegfrids said: “Homophobic people are angry with me for doing this. But I’m planning a surprise at the end of my performance. It’s live on TV, so nobody can stop me.” You can watch the video of the live performance here.
