A photo has recently circulated the social network,
Facebook, as a statement towards the recognition of homosexuals in the
military. The photo portrays a marine’s homecoming as usually expected, with
his legs wrapped around his boyfriend’s waist. The marine depicted in the photo
is Sgt. Brandon Morgan, and he is gratified with the fact that the picture
became well known throughout Facebook, and stands as a statement towards gay in
the military. The photo alone speaks for itself, as it is a gay couple,
obviously in love and truly missed of each other’s presence, kissing in front
of the American flag. The photo is a great symbol of unity and equality as it
is a gay man with high prestige recognition, as he is a sergeant in the Marine Corps. He is respected for fighting for this country
and holds an admirable position in the open class system as we assume he
worked hard for his position. Thus, should he be any less than his peers due to
his sexual orientation? I think not, he as well as anyone else is free to
pursue and gratify his life chances at happiness and
success and therefore should not be judged upon it.
