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

Posted on 12/22/2011 7:02:32 AM PST by IbJensen

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 (L) kisses her girlfriend of two years, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek in Virginia Beach Photo: AP)

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.

Perhaps not, but do you agree that He knows what the behavior will be, prior to it happening?

Do you ever think through what you conclude?

For one thing, desire and lust are borne in the heart. It’s not the conclusion of the action that’s the sin, but the entertaining and internalizing the temptation. That’s why Jesus taught that lusting after a woman = adultery, and hating another = murder. It’s simply a matter of degree and self-control.

The other thing is, if God somehow emasculated or castrated those whom He knew would be homosexual to prevent it, then we wouldn’t know what homosexuality was. Then we’d just be looking at a whole group of people whom God for some reason denied what we’d consider the normal desires and privileges of life to.

Then the anti-God crowd would rail on about what a meanie God is for inexplicably denying to some people what He granted to others.

It’s a lose/lose situation for God in some people’s eyes. For some people, He can just do nothing right.

God created them as normal human beings with normal desire and function. He granted them free will. It is not His responsibility what they do with the gifts He gave them. If they are intent on misusing them, they will. There will be consequences and nobody can claim ignorance because we have all been informed of the consequences. The choice is ours.

Play with fire if you will, but don’t whine when you get burned.

Selfishness is the root of sin. Sin is what happens when people place their will before His will.

God would have us honor our covenent with Him. He does not sanction sin, regardless of its form.

Wow, you mean if it wasn’t for the orgasms, then there wouldn’t be gays! What was I thinking when I said that?

Do you think God knows what we are going to think about, before we even think it?

religion is not needed in this debate.

This is simply an unreasonable conduct and offers nothing to society. It is illogical to the future of society.

There is a logical and reasonable list of consequeces as to why homosexuality is not to be condoned or permitted.

No. Much sooner. War will not doubt come. Hopefully we can redo the Republic after the smoke clears.

that is what a sexual fetish is about.

no different that other fetishes which require animals, objects, leather, etc.

homosexuals are just stuck on the exotic as erotic.

Rollo, this makes no sense whatsoever.

We now know that mental institutions allow inmates free access to the interNUT!

If we did not have free will, what would be the point of life?

Booze.

You're the one who made the stupid statement. That's your baby to answer.

Do you think God knows what we are going to think about, before we even think it?

Psalm 139:1-6 1 O LORD, you have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.

4 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether. 5 You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.

Are you also cool with adultery and beastiality? How about necrophilia? Afterall, if it's an orgasm you're after why should it be anyone else's business how you get there?

I’m glad we agree on God knowing what we will think and do, before He breathes life into us.

As you have been told before, they have a choice whether to act on their mental illness or not. Your problem is that you hate God. Blaming Him doesn’t change the truth.

stuartcr has always been a troll. He’s been allowed to stay. And regularly gets beaten.

Of course they do, but that’s not really what I’ve been talking about is it? I’m just talking about God knowing that people are going to choose to be gay, before they know it themselves, or are even born.
