A homecoming photo of a U.S. Marine passionately kissing his boyfriend has gone viral after it was posted on Facebook, according to the Huffington Post.
More than 14,000 people “Like” the image, and the picture has received more than 3,000 comments since being uploaded to Facebook’s Gay Marines group.
Blogger Joe.My.God has quoted Brandon Morgan, the Marine in the photo, as saying, in part, “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 [because] after three deployments and four years knowing each other, we finally told each other how we felt. … Goodnight all, and Semper Fi.”
