Stranger's brilliant reaction helps engagement photo go viral
The Telegraph ^ | 12/20/2016 | Mark Molloy

Posted on 12/20/2016 7:56:31 AM PST by BJ1

A couple’s engagement photo has been widely shared online thanks to an onlooker's brilliant reaction to the proposal. Law student Jessica Rodriguez proposed to her girlfriend Chelsea Miller at the Art Institute of Chicago, with the romantic proposal captured by photographer Ed Sanchez Perry. The joyous reaction of a woman who witnessed the surprise proposal, seen in the background of the photo, has touched the heart of many on social media. Ms Rodriguez’s brother shared the photo on Twitter with the caption: “My sister proposed to her GF today and look at that older woman's reaction.” He told BuzzFeed News: “I am just so happy that a positive LGBT photo went viral. It’s not every day something like this has such [a] positive reaction [from] the general public.” He added: “The sweet woman had such a beautiful reaction. It’s absolutely amazing to see such love come from a bystander.” In an Instagram post, a delighted Jessica added: “Baby I lied, there's no gala. I brought you here because of our love for art. We enjoy travelling to museums, having artsy dates and even showcasing art about our baby in our own home. “If someone could describe our love it could only be done through a work of art. It is happy, fun, chaotic, inspiring and strong. I want to keep discovering art for the rest of my life by your side. “My friends were holding a sign in the gallery above that said, ‘Chelsea Miller will you marry me?’ A thousand thank yous.”

Everyone on this forum who is on the Trump train is in for a disappointment imho. The culture war is lost. I dare somebody to show me that there is even a credible fight going on that is actually effective in countering this sort of "progress" contained in this article.

Trump can build a wall, he can lower taxes and some other things you guys want.

But the culture that applauds this sort of thing is a sign of decay. This is a shaking your fist at God sort of rebellion. God will not be mocked.

Looks pretty staged to me. I think you’re essentially correct that the scum has taken over the culture but I sense a turnaround beginning to happen.

These are the End Times. This is what is written in the Word of God about what will happen. The Catholic Church will participate, and might even lead, the Great Apostasy. This Pope could actually turn out to be the Anti-Christ or the False Prophet. The Protestant Churches and the various Christian Cults, Islam, Buddism, Hinduism, etc. will be in there as well. That is why it is called a One World Religion.

If you are a believer in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, and pray to be found worthy to escape the Wrath to come, then you will be out of here before the Great Tribulation starts. If you are a believer and think you want to go through the Great Tribulation, then maybe Jesus will protect you, but the preponderance of Scripture says you will get your head cut off. Either way, you will make it to the Glassy Sea and get to come back with Jesus at his Second Coming to administer the Millennial Kingdom.

I didn’t give Bible verses on purpose. It is really time to break it out and read it every day. Follow Msgr. Charles Pope’s daily messages. I am convinced that he is the Anointed Pope for this the last generation.

Most of all, “Let not your heart be troubled!” Jesus told you that this was going to happen, before it happened, so that when it started to happen, you would believe! Believe! Read your Bible and pray!

I don’t know if the culture war is lost - but it certainly isn’t over. Trump might have won the election, but culture “trumps” politics. And Trump isn’t as deep into the culture war as most of us. But his election is a good start. He has dealt a significant blow to political correctness and this alone is cause for optimism.

Well, we’re not actually in the great tribulation yet. A few more things need to happen, but all the pieces do appear to be lining up on the chess board.

You’re right. We should have thrown up our hands and voted for Hillary.

Some things are getting worse but some are getting better. In terms of the homo promo garbage, no, trump is not our man. But we must persevere.

Agree. Imo, it's not sex with gays but AtTeNtIoN! They crave attention so they do everything they can think of to get it. It's also used as an excuse to act out, which again is nothing but the need for attention. It's why so many end up as actors. Their gayness is an act which gains them attention, money and fame. The more acting out in public and in your face the better and feeds their obsession. Bottom line, it's a mental illness.

Sadly, mentally ill parents are pushing their children to "be" gay. Parents can then feed off the attention their children get. By the time the children are grown or old enough to understand, it's too late as they've already been brainwashed and just as mentally ill as their demented parents.
