"Laila Villanueva and her fiancé, Logan Ireland, are both transgender Americans currently serving in the U.S. military. At last month's White House Pride Reception, they made history."
"We were quickly greeted and flagged down by White House media officials, who asked us to say a few words on our thoughts about marriage equality and what it was like to be at the White House for this momentous occasion. After answering a few questions, we were ushered to the breezeway, where pictures of our past and present presidents line the walls."
