Man Proposes To His Boyfriend In Church & Receives Standing Ovation From Congregation.

A gay couple recently got engaged in First United Methodist church, Texas and they received a standing ovation from the congregation. Trevor Harper, 36,  gave his boyfriend, Davis Covin, 30,  a proposal to remember when he got down on one knee in front of the entire congregation  – receiving a standing ovation in the process. The couple have been dating since 2006 and have been proud and active members of the First United Methodist Church of Austin for the past two years. Mr Harper said the support they have received has been a huge blessing to their relationship, especially as a gay couple in Texas. He told BuzzFeed News:

‘That church has been, for us, really the first time we have really been able to live out loud as a couple.’
