TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) - You don't have to be a history buff to know about 1945's V-J Day in Times Square.
The iconic picture, known as "Kissing Sailor," portrays a U.S. Navy sailor grabbing and kissing a stranger in a white dress. The photo was taken on Victory over Japan Day just hours after the announcement that Japan had surrendered and World War II was finally over.
The sailor in the photo was on a date in Times Square and decided to celebrate by kissing the closest nurse, a stranger who was not his date.
Navy soldier Bryan Woodington, 33, had been stationed in the Persian Gulf and Europe for seven months this year. When he returned home for the holidays, he and his husband, Kenneth, 30, decided to recreate the iconic photo, News 4 Jax reports.
"I was excited and I could not wait for it to happen," Bryan said. "I knew I was going to dip him."
When Kenneth saw his husband disembark the ship, he said he “lost all control ... just dropped everything and ... ran.”
But, the happy moment quickly soured after the news station aired a photo of the kiss.
“How sad that your station has dropped to such a low as to show a gay couple kissing on your newscast," an angry caller told the news station.
Another sent an e-mail saying they’d “never watch your news again!!!! So long, News4Jax."
"Thought this was a ‘family friendly’ news channel," wrote another.
But the reunited couple is brushing off the negative comments: "It didn't really bother me," Kenneth told WJXT. "Honestly, I’m the type of person who doesn't really care that much about what people say."

F’ing fags
People need to lighten up. There are way bigger issues to get upset about. I swear we have turned into a nation of whinny busy bodies.
Sounds legit.
They wanted attention; they got attention.
Never thought I would be embarrassed by my service in the Navy.
Makes me want to apologize to the world for what this once-great fighting organization has become.
Who can gainsay Sec. Mattis, who approves?
Sodomites always trying to ruin anything wholesome with their sickness.
Unfortunately, I saw the pic at Gay-hoo.
It was very ... Obama.
Oh yea sure OK..Wrong
Drama Queens.
Always.
“It’s all about me and my sick perversion”
Navy soldier
Sounds legit.
= = = = = = = = =
About as ‘legit’ as HE ran to HIS husband and kissed HIM
Sounds legit
Don’t get me started on news stories that call any armored vehicle a “tank”, and any armed ship a “battleship”.
“People need to lighten up.”
No, people need to rise up against the forced endorsement of abominable perversions.
And no, there is no bigger issue than the murder of our culture and out moral probity, because it is upon this that our ability to survive rests.
This happened not far from me and there is more to the story too, so before you don’t want to get upset over it then try and understand as to why others are.
As for the two men two husbands crap then if you are for the homo agenda then just say so
People need to lighten up. There are way bigger issues to get upset about. I swear we have turned into a nation of whinny busy bodies.
No. We do not need to lighten up.
What needs to be done is fags keep this shot in the closet.
damn you butt boy
Why?
Yeah, the pic was pretty bad.
I’m surprised it hasn’t shown up, but it probably will.
The poofters want to go back to Genesis 19. They just might get their wish. All of it.
They are trying to beat down the door. How very Barack of them.
