News Anchor, Weatherman Couple Use Love Story to Fight Homophobia
Last year, Stephen Morgan and Steven Romo went viral when the then-Houston television news personalities came out as gay in dual Instagram posts announcing their engagement.
And since then, the two have become practically inseparable on the app."A few years ago, if I had seen us, I would have hated us,” Romo, a freelance correspondent and anchor for NBC Universal, tells The Advocate.
Romo and Morgan, who is a national meteorologist for FOX properties, have turned their feeds into a series of adorably sweet photos. “If I wasn't us, I'd hate us." "But I'm just in love and so happy and, honestly, I don't care what anybody thinks," he adds.
And in an environment where Republicans are pushing a “groomer” narrative, these representations of LGBTQ+ are needed, according to the couple.Romo, 37, and Morgan, 33, grew up in religious families.
