2 women in a French old people's home got married after being closeted for ages😍😭

That day, during the meal, we were talking about gay marriage. And Liliane and Andrée came to ask us if it was actually possible to do that in real life. They had thought that same-sex marriage was only possible on TV. 
 We told them it was possible. And a few minutes later, Andrée proposed to Liliane in front of us.

@owenblacker This is incredible, and an important reminder that we young queer people aren't just fighting for our own rights. We're fighting so that our queer parents and grandparents can come out of the closet and live the lives they deserve.
@xelle absolutely!
