Former US senator finds ‘another romance’ this time with a man
2016-04-26
[Iran Press TV] 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,
... 2016 - 40 = 1976 was the year she died...
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
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
, 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.
...2016 - 1996 = 20 years ago. It looks like the Iran PressTV reporter has a little problem with math facts.
"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.

#7  My guess wofford is giving his lover a life time survivor pension benefit and free health care for life. This little Union will cost taxpayers for the next 50 years.

#5  Wofford could be this guys grandfather. There is some twisted stuff going on. If the happy couple goes on honeymoon to Paris, they better keep clear of the Islamic no-go areas.

#3  So our blushing bride was 25 and he was 75 when they fell in love on the beach?

Odds on this happening before the wife's death?

#2  He's 90 and marrying a 40 year old? It would be a shame if he was just a Democrat trying to be a hero (to the left) in his last years by having a faux gay marriage.

Hopefully their love is as deep, or deeper, than the love between Anna Nicole Smith and her husband.
