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Although Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was repealed — so Phelps can openly acknowledge the relationship — the Defense of Marriage Act is still in effect and the federal government will not officially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

And, in my opinion, they are doing a good job of it too.
They probably swap.
Pandora’s box is fully open and it will never be closed again.
Evil runs rampant throughout the world, and only God can cleanse it. Does this world need Jesus? You bet it does!
Sadly, you are correct.
You two MEN mock GOD at your own peril.

I am ready... I only hope that HE will have me.

Please, someone, tell me again how Obama is a Christian. Please tell me how so many Christians and Catholics voted for Obama. What is their ongoing response to this display of sin and calling it “good”.
How is publicly mocking God - in the White House - a sign that Obama worships the one, true God?
There will be a great accounting.
Reading Craig Claibourne’s book made me realize there has always been quite a bit of gay activity in the military. Some of the recent books go into more detail. Everyone knew who was gay in the unit.
“In your face America!” - The commie libs.
What is far worse for the Corps is that this guy is now bulletproof in his career advancement. Do you think that any of his senior officers would dare give him a negative OER, no matter how richly deserved, for fear of being branded a homophobe?
Code Red.
That is the whole point of this ridiculous marriage charade. They will have SOMEBODY ELSE's children.
Truly disgusting on many, many levels. Truly. Back in the closet, boys...
And they will indoctrinate that child into the gay lifestyle. I know someone who did just that despite her adamant denial that it would happen. That child's life was ruined.
His missions backup might be thin.
Don’t forget “REMF”

Based on the picture it’s pretty easy to spot the b-tch.
