“We, Preston and Donald, are happy to announce our recent engagement while traveling in Madrid, Spain,” the couple told People.
“In a world where love between black gay men is not always appreciated and celebrated, we proudly stand on this beautiful path together,” they added. “Our journey is a testament to the beauty and power of love in all its forms and the commitment to always love and learn from one another. With hearts full of gratitude, we look forward to writing the next chapter of our lives together.”

“I liked the cut and color of the ring,” Mitchum said. “Black is classic and black diamonds made it even better. And black men deserve it too!”
The couple – each lawyers – currently live together in Washington
“I don’t pretend that relationships are easy, they’re not. But they just shouldn’t feel like they’re working hard. They shouldn’t feel like they’re suffocating. They should feel free,” Mitchum said, completely satisfied that he and his fiancé have “all of these things and more.”
“Freedom to be yourself. Free if you wish to communicate. You should want to be silent for a moment,” he advised. “The freedom to be honest about what’s going well. Being able to freely discuss what might require a little more effort. Freely define your terms, even if it wouldn’t make sense to others. Free.”
