Gay Marine Pops the Question in the White House

A U.S. Marine Corps captain proposed to his partner in front of a Christmas tree at the White House Saturday in the first gay engagement to happen there.

Capt. Matthew Phelps asked his boyfriend Ben Schock to marry him in the grand foyer of the White House, on the six-month anniversary of their first date, which also was at the White House, reported ABC News.

“Our first date was to the White House, so I wanted to propose to him there,” Phelps told ABC News. “When I got invited to the holiday tour — six months to the day that we had been there on our first date — it was way too much of a coincidence to pass up.”

Although Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was repealed — so Phelps can openly acknowledge the relationship — the Defense of Marriage Act is still in effect and the federal government will not officially acknowledge the marriage.

This means that Schock is not eligible for health insurance from the Corps, and when Phelps is deployed next year, his partner will not have access to their home on the Marine base.

The military was America’s last noble institution. To the Left, it was essential to soil it, as they have done to everything else that was once decent and good in our once republic.

That is disgusting but somehow also appropriate for the White House we have today.

To think that the same house where Jefferson and Madison once lived is now host to such evil as this. Disgusting.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

It should now be referred to as the Pink House. Truly disgusting. Abe & George must be olling over in their graves. They would probably wonder if it was worth it to look at us now.

It should now be referred to as the Pink House. Truly disgusting. Abe & George must be rolling over in their graves. They would probably wonder if it was worth it to look at us now.

A photo of the disgraced and infamous Marine.

“At a General Court Martial whereof Colo. Tupper was President (10th March 1778) Lieutt. [Frederick Gotthold] Enslin of Colo. Malcom's Regiment tried for attempting to commit sodomy, with John Monhort a soldier; Secondly, For Perjury in swearing to false Accounts, found guilty of the charges exhibited against him, being breaches of 5th. Article 18th. Section of the Articles of War and do sentence him to be dismiss'd the service with Infamy.

“His Excellency the Commander in Chief [George Washington] approves the sentence and with Abhorrence and Detestation of such Infamous Crimes orders Lieutt. Enslin to be drummed out of Camp tomorrow morning by all the Drummers and Fifers in the Army never to return; The Drummers and Fifers to attend on the Grand Parade at Guard mounting for that Purpose.”
