Last Monday, US Vice President Joe Biden tried himself in a new role, registering same-sex marriage between two employees of the White House.

The marriage ceremony of Brian Mosteller and Joe Makhshi took place last Monday at Joe Biden's residence in Washington in the presence of family members of both suitors.

“Proud to have Brian and Joe officiate at my home,” Biden tweeted immediately after the ceremony. “I’m very happy, two longtime White House staffers, two great guys.” In turn, Biden’s wife retweeted her husband’s message, accompanying it with the words: “Love is just love!”

A longtime advocate for the idea of ​​marital equality, Joe Biden received a temporary certificate from the District of Columbia, which gave him the right to register a marriage between colleagues. For the first time, the current US Vice President spoke out in favor of legalizing gay marriage back in 2012, long before President Obama and Hillary Clinton, the current presidential candidate of the Democratic Party.

“I absolutely agree that men who want to marry men, women who want to marry women and straight men who marry straight women should have equal rights,” Biden previously said during a meeting with reporters. “Everyone needs civil rights and civil liberties.”
