VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) -- A Navy tradition has caught up with the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" rule on gays serving openly in the U.S. military. The Navy said two women shared the coveted "first kiss" Wednesday when the USS Oak Hill returned home to its Virginia base. Marissa Gaeta of Pacerville, Calif., descended from the ship and shared a quick kiss with her partner, Citlalic (SEET-lah-leek) Snell of Los Angeles. The crowd screamed and waved Navy flags around them. Both women are fire controlmen in the Navy. They met at training school and have been dating for two years. Naval officials said it was the first time on record that a same-sex couple was chosen to kiss first upon a ship's return.

I am sure there were sailors a few weeks ago that would have paid to see that. Not so much today.

I could just vomit.
#1 - Women don’t belong on combatant vessels.
#2 - Queer women don’t belong in the Navy.
*sigh* The world has passed me by.

FYI, that is not actually them. That’s a different pair of lesbians, celebrating their “marriage”.

Well there is one way to solve this problem and the base and fleet commanders should forbid all displays of public affection in and out of uniform on base.

By definition they are defective. So, trying to figure out why the do things may be fruitless.
