The NBA made history with its first ever same-sex proposal during a Chicago Bulls game on Thursday.

According to OutSports, Jake Conrad sent out a plea on Facebook to help him plan his proposal to his boyfriend Michael Holtzman, a Chicago Bulls superfan.

Chicago Bulls spokesman Ross Lipshultz explained in a statement to OutSports that the proposal was made possible with help from the team.

“At the Chicago Bulls game vs. the San Antonio Spurs on December 8, the Bulls worked with Jake Conrad to set up an in-game proposal for his partner, Michael Holtzman. Michael has been a lifelong Bulls fan and watches every game. After he once told Jake that his dream was to go to a Bulls game, Jake knew he wanted to propose to Michael at a game to show him how committed he is to making Michael’s dreams come true,” Lipschultz said in the statement.

“Jake bought tickets to the game and contacted the Bulls to purchase a fan experience package to propose before the game. The Bulls were touched by Jake and Michael’s story and wanted to make the experience extra special, so they asked Jake if he would be open to proposing during the game. Once Jake agreed, the team worked with him to set up a proposal during a timeout involving Benny the Bull and the Luvabulls. The Chicago Bulls are honored to have been part of such a special moment for this couple,” Lipschultz continued.
