WATCH: Gay Couple in Marine Homecoming Photo Speaks

A photo of a Marine's homecoming in Hawaii quickly became one of the most iconic homecoming photos since the 1945 photo known as “The Kiss"—only this new image depicted Marine Sargent Brandon Morgan leaping into the arms and kissing his boyfriend Dalan Wells.

This was so heart-warming from the photograph to the interview. It reminds me somewhat of the picture taken in Times Square in New York upon V-E day. I'm not comparing the situations by any means but they are iconic in many ways.
