CNN - NY Gay Couple Waiting 61 Years To Marry

[MrHertulio]

Amazing ! I hope to find the man of my life one day.

[MrFilipinoprodigy]

for a 91 year old that man sounds healthy and well

[radioxxflyer]

aww man too lovely. i hope im still with mine in 61 years...hey ill be 84 then :O lol

[1122me0x]

Awwwwww :') so proud to live in one of the now 7 states to legalize gay marriage

[SoniClub]

Aww how sweet!

[lukosius1221]

this is a proof of love that should be the strongest evidence for gay marriage. How unfair you have to be to deny that?

[grantiell]

so these people had to wait 60 years mean while kim kardashian was married for 72 days but its okay because its heterosexual? whats more unjust?

[shootonface]

rich is a cool dude....he's my teacher..

[Agwen24]

So did they get married already?

[jcho0404]

Sometimes it just makes me feel so sorry for them - just the idea of having a group of people (like NOM) who are actively working hard to take away your rights sounds terrifying. I really hope they find the recognition that they deserve as a married couple.

[lohphat]

Why wasn't this declaration of freedom on Fox News? Oh yeah..."fair and balanced".

[renov93]

wow - when they were younger, they were a couple of hotties!

[lohphat]

...with liberty and justice FOR ALL.

[penlovmov]

They should get married first on July 25th. They're an inspiration.

[choongd]

7 Christians refuse to acknowledge love.

[aixelsydyslexia]

Congratulations to this couple and to ALL LGBT New Yorkers who are going to get married, now! Oh, screw it. Congratulations to EVERYONE.

[justinh125]

Thumbs up if you would throw in a dollar or two to help pay for their marriage in NY!

[Willowofdrklight]

Looks like they will finally be able to marry, NY passed the bill today!

[justinh125]

I would donate to help pay for their marriage now that it's legal. NY KICKS ASS

[lohphat]

These guys need to be FIRST IN LINE.

[Pregolegs]

Congratulations Richard and John, you can go ahead and get married now!!!

[Althok]

This is love.

[competer4]

COME ON ALREADY, LEGALIZE IT

[lilmonsterGaGa]

OMG!!!!!!!!! So cute :D

[stephanygator]

What a beautiful story!! I hope that NY gets their act together and votes the ethical way. Let these two men who have waited their entire lives (literally) to validate their love in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of God!! This just shows you how farrrrrrr behind the times we truly are.... wake up, America. It isn't about gay rights, or special rights, it is about equal rights. Period.

[spookythebando]

All the happy, positive comments on this video make me have hope for humanity. <3!

[madcwk1]

I am so hopeful that you get to say "I do" to one another soon!

[GlasgowPhilosipher]

Tradition = we've been doing something the same way for a really long time.

Defending tradition = We must keep doing things this way for no other reason that the fact we have been doing it for a really long time.

Kinda stupid when you break it down :D

Fuck tradition, gay marriage for the win!

[TheAndyLoraProgram]

They're not gay. They've just been pretending for 60 years....

[ianapeixoto1]

i really hope their marriage get legalized before its too late... they're really cute *-*

[justletmeebe]

@CubanExile So what good will it do to YOU if there are no LGBT left in this world? Does it do you any good? Or did it even cost you anything in the first place? Wise up.

[HenhousetheRed]

@CubanExile Learn to spell. And learn to love your fellow man for who they were born as. We are born gay. You are not born ignorant. Wise up.

[cologneprince]

Man, this is beautiful, yet very sad at the same time. I hope that 60 years from now, there isn't another story like this. If there is, it means that this nation still will not have learned respect.

[HappyAtheist76]

So beautiful <3 These two have been together 60 years, have loved each other, have provided for each other, and they're still able to have fun together and are very much in love so how is that any different than other marriages? It's not. I don't know about the rest of you but I have a feeling that the law will pass. They're only ONE vote shy so I have a good feeling about it. If it does get passed I'm sure Richard and John will rush to the court house. lol :D I wish them well & even more love.

[chakazulu87]

I'm all for gay rights they have a right to unhappily married just like everyone else. *LOL jk * Marriage is a beautiful thing it will happen eventually.

[beeblmeyer]

This is a great story. Fingers crossed for New York today!

[MaryJesusJoseph]

Very sweet.

[johneamer]

We have had same sex marriage in Canada for a number of years and guess what? Nothing happened. It really is not an issue.

[dumoktheartist]

They are Such a cute couple...

[steerpike66]

These guys are married, married in a way that most heterosexuals can't even begin to understand. The state just hasn't recognised it yet.

[rextrek]

how many str8 cpls together 60yrs?? with NO Marriage???

[lunafan3]

I hope they legalize gay marriage. These two deserve to get married.

[breakingthisdown]

<3

[SpizzTrizzOpinions]

this right here is why Gay marriage matters...

[zippyman818]

"See I told you our age difference wouldn't matter once we grow old together! NOW can we please get married?"

"Alright already, sheesh so pushy, it's not like most of your family & friends have died or something."

[juliebgroovin]

It's just love folks....no need to be so threatened....just love!!

[CerealKillahNZ]

This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, what a hard yet wonderful life these two have had and are continuing to have together. If ever and autobiography was done on their lives I would be the first in line to buy it.

[sadguyfoundout1]

If only gay marriage was legal around 60 years ago, i would be PROUD to be their adopted child! Not just proud, I would pay them to be my fathers!

[nath1987]

I ADORE THIS COUPLE! <3

[cribsays]

When we finally get this passed (whether it's tomorrow, or in the near future), all couples, gay and straight alike, should let these wonderful guys to the front of the line at City Hall

[beastygeorge]

Beautiful couple! My best wishes to them....

=)

[VoteYou]

They put straight couples to shame.

[sclf]

DONT GET MARRIED IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIVES!

[BurntFlower88]

I'm happy that I don't follow a God who finds them an abomination.

[dawn4349]

what a sweet couple. Hope the bill goes thru in N.Y.

[songnesslife]

To me thats beautiful knowing those men are still together after soooo many years but at the same time it is disgustiong knowing its taken sooo long for us and our society to even think about recognizing that love. I understand it may be different from what people are used to but no one can say its any less beautiful then love between a man and a woman.

[tytheeman20]

This is amazing. I want them to be able to get married.

[msadoy]

Prediction: The vote will fail.

Americans are prejudiced idiots.

[silentfades]

they can not continue to marginalize people

[Daken1980]

Wow 60+ years...hope they can finally get married soon.

[Pauly69s]

how horribly sad and unjust that you can be together over 60 years and not be able to marry...two lives shared...makes my heart hurt...please stop the persecution and discrimination...

[GreatCalmness]
