Senior US senator finds ‘another romance’ this time with a man
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.
