Another milestone…stoned? Navy veteran Cory Huston of San Diego, CA proposed to his returning boyfriend (Marine Avarice Guerrero) at Camp Del Mar on April 24. Guerrero was returning from Afghanistan.
According to the San Diego LGBT Weekly:
…After a few minutes of emotional holding and kissing, Huston went anxiously down on one knee; looked up at Guerrero, who was dressed from head to toe in military fatigues; and produced an engagement ring and the time-honored phrase, “Will you marry me?”
Huston’s mild tremble, a result of hours and days of anticipation about this day, was quickly quieted by the one word every hopeful fiancé wants to hear: “Yes.”
Romance is alive! What makes this somewhat bittersweet is that Huston was discharged due to the now-defunct DADT policy. He tells the San Diego LGBT Weekly that “by popping the question, and assuming Guerrero would say yes, he would not only be changing his and his beau’s lives forever, but also the landscape of marriage among gay service members…”.
Anyone else get a little teary-eyed with happiness for these two?
