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.

“For surely you will not die” has been your motto when you peddle your god; "the everyone is not eternally accountable because all has been known before" tripe wreaks of an unjust and unloving god under the turbulence of the earth.
A secondary cause with freedom attached is a piece of cake to make and form from an all-knowing Primary Cause that created the complexity of the universe and the cosmos’ laws. Just because the Primary already knows does not mean the Primary coerces; it becomes the secondary's responsibility to adhere to simple laws and revelations.
Why did God create us (Knowing the havoc we will create out of our own doing) and put us in an imperfect position in the first place?

Your comments have made more sense than anything I’ve read about this today.
You,like me, must be a veteran and must be collecting our marvelous social security!
Merry Christmas!
No. It’s just that the ship is on the other side of the parking lot from where I work, we were watching it pull in, and a lot of incorrect info has been passed around. It’s just not really a big deal. There would have been a picture of a hetero couple, if that was the way the raffle went.
ok
Are you asking if He knows who are sinners before they sin, but He creates them anyway and gives them free will to make their own decisions? Because that would cover all of us, but doesn't grant an indulgence for the sinful acts.
"They strut their evil before you"..comes to mind via this staged photo shoot.
This display is going to be seen more and more as our Government leaders have sanctioned it in complete opposition to the standards we as a Christian nation were given.
There is no longer a sense of shame in this nation at what is shameful. There isn't a conscious in the young generation who have who have all but forfeited it willingly....what was there has been seared with a hot iron.
Your pushing the homosexual agenda on FR...stop it.
Have seen your insanity on other threads and continued questions to incite arguements. Why don’t you go somewhere where you’d be welcomed?
“It would not surprise me in the least if God forsakes us and turns us over to total evil.”
He already has, and it’s name is Obama!
Well, that’s CHS. Happens all the time here in Hampton Roads, not the subs though. Local channels 3, 10, 13 and The Pilot.
You would have to ask Him, but I think we can both agree that He did know what they were going to do.
Sounds good.
Do you think God knows what our free-will decisions will be, before we are even born?
I’m not pushing anything. There was some incorrect information that I am attempting to clarifying.
That was about the most idiotic post I’ve ever seen.
How long before this Republic falls? Will make it another 50 years?
ok
Like a SF bath house! LOL!
God doesn’t create behavior - He gives us free will. We make our own choices, and we must stand the consequences.
If we did not have free will, what would be the point of life? or virtue? or faith?
