QuoteFive months after the military's ban on openly gay service expired, a photo of a young gay Marine's homecoming kiss has gone viral.

Nearly 15,000 people have liked the picture on Facebook, which was posted in a group for gay Marines on Saturday.

The Marine, Brandon Morgan, posted a response on his Facebook wall according to the JoeMyGod blog. "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," Morgan wrote.

He responded to "haters" who criticized him for kissing in uniform. "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?"

In December, two female naval petty officers became the first same-sex couple to share the traditional first kiss on the pier when the ship returned from an 80-day deployment.

Well, consider they make up less than 10% of the population....you have to figure 15,000 is like 150,000.

Marriage and the military - two of the most patriarchal institutions of this civilization. Why are we fighting about them, again?

Once something appears on Languish it has won the internet.

Though I first saw this photo on Human Rights Campaign not here.

The weird thing is that he's a Marine, and thus a better infantryman than you could ever be.  Perhaps a medicinal application of penis would make you better at your job and worthy to fight the Arab, instead of just hanging around while the real war-fighters do their job.
