I said Yes. I, for once in my life, am at a total loss for words. I grew up my entire life watching straight couples sharing to the world their engagements and declaring their love and support of each other in being life partners, rock solid through the bad and the good. Born into a world where two queer individuals were not allowed to marry one another (and of course still illegal in so many places) I never thought I would be able to have this moment to make the announcement into the world that two individuals who love one another and that their love can be accepted, that there is light at the end of that tunnel. You are the light of my life Eitan, under the tree I looked into your eyes, and knew I couldn’t love a person more. A year and a seven months later you got down on one knee under that same tree, and asked me to marry you. I love you and this family of love and acceptance we are building.
