14 of the best public same-sex marriage proposals ever

Illustrated rainbow pride flag on a white background.

We all love a public proposal – especially a same-sex public proposal, since they’re relatively new in the grand scheme of things.

LGBT people have been waiting around 6,000 years to get down on one knee in front of innocent bystanders, so, in honour of that depressing fact, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite same-sex marriage proposals.

Andie and Lucy

Andie spent five and a half years convincing her girlfriend Lucy to go skydiving with her. When Lucy finally agreed to hurl herself out of a plane on the morning of her birthday, she ended up with a wife.

Ann and Jackie

What’s more cheesy and great than a Glee-inspired proposal in front of loads of random people?

Nothing.

Paige and Amanda

See for yourselves as Paige basically tricks Amanda into marrying her.

(We’re joking, it’s amazing and lovely.)

Peter and Adi

Adi thought he was in for another boring day at work.

Benjamin and Justin

What better way to propose than on Ellen DeGeneres’ show?

Benjamin and Justin, who had previously exchanged commitment rings on the programme, were sitting in the audience before being called to the stage by Ellen herself.

You can guess what happens next.

Molly and Belinda

Yep, it’s another gym proposal (well, basketball) – and it was in this ‘place of fitness’ that Molly and Belinda first kissed.

Stu and DeAndre

DeAndre proposed to his boyfriend of six years, Stu, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling in favour of same-sex marriage in Dallas, Texas.

This impressive proposal includes four costume changes, marching band uniforms, shiny rainbow choir robes, confetti cannons, a dance troupe and over 40 friends and family.

Jeanne and Alissa

This lesbian couple’s proposal video went viral, and for good reason.

Alissa was pulled out of a meeting because of a “disturbance” on the street.

When she got to my office window, she saw her girlfriend Jeanne standing on a bus across the street.
