West Point Hosts First Ever Male Same Sex Wedding in Military Academys History
Two former male West Point cadets wed on Saturday at The United States Military Academy’s Cadet Chapel. This was the first time two men have married at the house of worship in West Point’s history.
The couple, 28 year old Larry Choate III, who graduated in 2009, and 27 year old Daniel Lennox, a member of the 2007 class, tied the knot in front of 20 guests, The Atlantic Wire reported.

“It’s maybe one more barrier that’s pushed over a little bit, or maybe one more glass ceiling that’s shattered that makes it easier for the next couple,” Choate told The Associated Press on Friday.

Two previous same-sex weddings involving female couples were held late last year, however Choate’s and Lennox’s ceremony marked the first time two men married at the site.
