Brothers in arms are brothers in arms. The stereotype of gays in the military were of traitors and the like. They have in reality served with honor for eons. Good for him.
My father who served is one of the most ardent supporters of gay rights I know and he had former's reaction. He also was appalled at the White House in rainbow colors. He said 1) you don't mess with certain things and 2) now they're just rubbing the opponents' faces in it which will only cause deeper resentment and division.
I applaud all who serve and could care less who they love. Personally, I'd prefer not hearing about anyone's exploits regardless.

My wife has an uncle who was in the Marines. He is constantly sending me e-mails and posting on Facebook about various right wing topics. I saw several posts related to gay marriage.
I would love to see his reaction when he sees that picture.

Stupid flags. That flag offends me just as much as any other flag. Why do they even need one? Great he "served with pride" but this is kinda taking things a little far in my opinion.

I find the whole rub it in your face victory lap homosexuals are running offensive. As said above, it will only build resentment and further divide our people. I don't care who anyone chooses to sleep with as long as they are consenting adults. I do not wish to know what they do. That's what the bedroom door is for.
i find it annoying that folks see these celebrations as some sort of zero sum game. if someone else's happiness gives you this much grief, the problem is not them. i guess this is just another way true american folk are being "victimized" in this country.
When all things decent are being attacked by perverse individuals, yes I feel victimized!
I understand the gesture but in the end it really does seem disrespectful to the Marine Corps flag.
It would be interesting to poll the gay community and see what their opinion is....I would bet a large % would not approve. Especially those with military service.

FYI: (from Earle's link) here is the gay Marine and the flag his unit presented to him on his last day:
