A poignant moment outside of the DC courthouse yesterday

A poignant moment outside of the DC courthouse yesterday: "While we were standing outside of the courthouse yesterday after the release of Dan Choi and Jim Pietrangelo, two older gentlemen approached Dan Choi to say hello. They appeared to be at least in their 70s. One was walking with a cane. They told Dan they've seen him on tv and were excited to meet him. They also thanked him for what he's been doing. Then, they told us that they were at the Courthouse to get their marriage license. Turns out they've been together for over 30 years. The gentlemen in the blue cap served in the navy. I'm kicking myself for not getting their names, but they were happy to pose for pictures.

I can't help it, even if it sounds corny, it was a very sweet moment.
