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.

You cannot since your whole frame of reference is based on your existence. The same would be true of a world where God allowed no free will. Your mind simply could not conceive any other alternative reality.
The answer is no. God sees it all. His knowledge is complete. Ours is faulty and flawed.
Careful on that use of ‘illegal’ - the world has had some immoral laws in it’s day
ok
It won't be long before you'll be seeing pictures of that too. After that, someone kissing their French Poodle good-bye.
Would it be possible for you to NOT do something that God knows you will do?
If it is rigged, considering our pop culture, don't most young people find two women kissing more "palatable" than two men kissing? Compare the success of "Girls Gone Wild" versus "Brokeback Mountain."
Has anyone here seen the beginning of "Watchmen?" Note - I had to turn it off shortly after the start.
This is nothing more than a staged event designed to gain support for a certain agenda.
********************************
Agreed. I'm disgusted.
OK thanks
Lets hope God doesn’t know you’re going to do something bad in 2012, ‘cause then you’ll have to do it.
Gotta go.
I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas and a joyous New Year
Because there is no yes or no to a question that doesn’t make sense.
It’s on the order of *Have you stopped beating your wife today?*
If God knows what’s going to happen before it happens, how the heck can He be wrong about it? That’s just stupid.
It’s not like He’s guessing or predicting. That could get a yes or no answer. But to ask how someone can be wrong about what they know to be fact????
That demonstrates a total lack or reasoning skills on your part.
That makes no sense. God having knowledge of my actions yesterday, today and tomorrow doesn’t affect me in any way. It simply means that I cannot hide from Him. You can’t either stuart.
I am confident God knows whatever he wants to know, in whatever detail he wants to know it.
I am also confident God has given us free will.
(I doubt God does a preview of Tim Tebow’s coming football game, and has any intervention. I would say that Tim’s performance is driven by his choices, to practice, study the plays, eat right, not have distractions. )
I’m hoping that God knows you’re going to find another forum in which to play your dopey, coy, pro-homosexual games.
Good point. Should the day of the USSR come to the USA and worship of God be declared illegal, then the question would would have different implications.
For those with an axe to grind against God, there is no end to their deluded rationalizations.
Anyone with a lick of common sense and intelligence can see the difference between foreknowledge and programming.
stuartcr, we’ve all seen your failed attempts at this kind of argument about God. You are one almost hopelessly confused and deluded individual. You will continue to believe a lie about God until you decide that you want to believe the truth about Him. Until then, you are fair game for all the lying deceits of Satan.
YUCK!
That is my first, last, and best reaction to this photo.
“hating another = murder” -MM
Really, so what is a strong dislike for someone? - Manslaughter?
I would say that hate is a necessary constituent of murder, but it is not equal to murder. Murder requires making a choice and acting on that choice.
(enough philosophy and religion for me - signing off this thread)
LOL!!!
Yes. Unfortunately. And the whispers of satan sound so GOOD! Blame God and be absolved! Except that it's a lie.
