Chris Hughes
Facebook co-founder to marry boyfriend
17 January 2011
The twenty-seven-year-old, who has been called “the kid who made Obama president” for his role in running the President’s social networking site My.BarackObama.com, announced his engagement last week at a party in New York.
His partner of five years, Sean Eldridge, is the political director of Freedom to Marry, a group campaigning for marriage equality in the USA.
They became engaged on New Year’s Eve 2010 in Thailand.
They have yet to announce a wedding date, but Eldridge said that it would probably be when same-sex marriage is made legal in New York.
