US President Barack Obama presents former Sen. Harris Wofford (D-PA)
with the 2012 Presidential Citizens Medal, the nation's second-highest
civilian honor, in the East Room of the White House February 15, 2013

look for opportunities to better serve our communities and our
country," Obama said about the recepients.
A senior US senator has announced that he will marry a male partner
some 40 years after the death of his wife.
Former Pennsylvania Senator Harris Wofford, 90, said he was "lucky"
enough to have "found happiness" again in marriage with 40-year-old
Matthew Charlton.
Wofford initially made the shocking announcement in a column for the
New York Times, titled "Finding Love Again, This Time With a Man."
The former Democratic senator, who has served as a friend and
unofficial advisor to Martin Luther King, Jr. as well as a special
assistant to President John F Kennedy, also bragged about his "love"
towards his late wife, who died of acute leukemia back in 1996.

"I don't categorize myself based on the gender of those I love. I had
a half-century of marriage with a wonderful woman, and now am lucky
for a second time to have found happiness."
In the column, Wofford also provides details of how he realized his
"bond" with Charlton "had grown into love" on a beach in Florida five
years after the death of his wife.
On June 26, 2015, the United States became the 21st and most populous
country to legalize same-sex marriage as a result of a Supreme Court
ruling.
