Don’t Tell, Show of the Day: After a photo of US Marine Brandon Morgan being welcomed home by his partner Dalan went viral in a big way on Facebook, Morgan issued the following response to the thousands of comments it generated: 

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?

[jmg.]

This is super sweet. But I also find it super sad that it went viral and that anyone cared in either a positive or negative way. If it were a heterosexual couple, no one would have blinked an eye. Not just about this particular story, but homosexuality in general. It shouldn’t be a big deal. Just like heterosexuality isn’t a big deal. It’s all normal. 

Their love is THEIR love, THEIR business.
