I GUESS THE MARINES ARE ACCEPTING GAY PEOPLE AS LONG AS THEY SERVE OUR COUNTRY!!!

An openly gay marine has caused a stir online after sharing the traditional home-coming first kiss with his boyfriend in Hawaii.

Sgt Brandon Morgan of Oakdale, California, was captured as he jumped into the arms of boyfriend, reported by International Business Times to be called Dalan Wells.

The pair embraced and locked lips as they were reunited following the end of Morgan's Afghanistan tour with the US Marines.

They join a longstanding tradition of military personnel vying to share the ‘first kiss’ with their partners on returning home from operational tour. 

The picture went viral after being posted on the Gay Marines Facebook page and popular gay blogs Joe.My.God and Towleroad, receiving more than 18,000 ‘likes’ and almost 4,000 comments since Saturday.
