The World’s First Gay Police Wedding Happened In Spain Over Weekend

15/09/2015 By ACOMSDave Leave a Comment

Two gay policemen tied the knot in Spain over the weekend and the whole world is celebrating with them.
The couple, who are being referred to as Chema and Jonathan by Spanish media, were married in Jerez de la Frontera on September 5 while dressed in their full police uniforms, in what many believe is a world first.
To mark the occasion, people all across the world have been uploading and sharing photos of the adorable couple to social media.
In an interview with a Spanish radio station, Chema said that he and his hubby have lots of gay friends and allies in the police force.
“If it helps someone who is being bullied in school for their sexual orientation to see it as something normal, then that’s great,” he said. “It’s not something that should be hidden just because you belong to a particular institution.”
The guys were married at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art and plan on road tripping from Seattle to San Diego for their honeymoon.

Scroll down to see photos from the wedding, and congrats to the happy couple!
