Women sailors share first gay kiss in US Navy
The Telegraph ^ | 12/22/2011 | AP Staff

A Lesbian couple have become the first to share in the US Navy tradition of the 'first kiss' since the repeal of the American military's "don't ask, don't tell" rule.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta of Placerville, California, descended from the USS Oak Hill amphibious landing ship and shared a quick kiss in the rain with her partner, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell of Los Angeles.

Gaeta, 23, wore her Navy dress uniform while Snell, 22, wore a black leather jacket, scarf and blue jeans. The crowd screamed and waved flags around them.

"It's something new, that's for sure," Gaeta told reporters after the kiss. "It's nice to be able to be myself. It's been a long time coming."

For the historical significance of the kiss, there was little to differentiate it from countless others when a Navy ship pulls into its home port following a deployment. Neither the US Navy nor the couple tried to draw attention to what was happening and many onlookers waiting for their loved ones to come off the ship were busy talking among themselves.

I would love to watch the sailors get off their ship and admire their posteriors in their tight bell-bottoms.

;)

Scripture. Not my idea.

Take it up with Him.

1 John 3:15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him

“First things first: Homosexuals do not have sex. They have orgasms. There’s a difference.”

That sounds like something clinton would say about “that women.”

What a lame brain he/she is....I’d say about 16 yrs. old from the way they always seem to come across. Always asking questions even after given answers. It’s called gaming FR. I think. At any rate run across the jerk more than I care to.... Like ants at a picnic!

OK, if you say so.
