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.

Uh,this isn’t what I had in mind....
Well...at least 1) they are decent looking lesbians instead of fat butches and 2) it’s better than two guys.
I ordinarily skip over leftists and nasty little things’ comments. But I happened to see that one, and it was way out of line!
I don’t think stuart is looking for blame, rather justification. Ask him whether he believes Jesus’ claim of being God incarnate and bringing us redemption.
Arbiter of what?
No, I’m not asking Him, I’m asking if you believe it.
If you believe that God cannot be wrong, and knows what you will do. How can you NOT do it? Could you do anything other?
That is not asking God anything, it’s asking you what you think you can or cannot do.
That can easily be answered with a yes or a no.
I’d rather not. The god that he has created is twisted. ;-)
God not being constrained by time and knowing all events AT THE SAME TIME forces man to do NOTHING. Gods knowledge does not FORCE man to do ANYTHING.
If there truly is only one God, how can someone have a false or wrong God? How could that even exist?
By the way, what is a god? A thought, a word, description, a figment of someone’s imagination? The word god isn’t even relevant when speaking about the creator. How could it be? The whole concept of worshipping something as a god, doesn’t even make sense to me. Please explain about this, or these, gods you talk about.
Why not? He can do anything can’t He? Perhaps it doesn’t force anything, but just moves a persons’ course in life?
People put God in a box of their own design and deny who He says He is. They create their own "god".
By the way, what is a god?
Whatever people prize above all else. For some, they worship money, or power, or possessions. That is their god.
That just doesn’t make any sense. God is God, we can’t manipulate Him.
How can anyone possibly believe that money or power, etc., could be God? That stuff doesn’t create life, it’s man-made.
Your premise is that because God knows everything He must be forcing us to do things. That is not so. God’s knowledge is HIS. Just because He knows what choices you’ll make does not mean He is FORCING you to make those choices.
Whatever a person worships, that is their god.
logic and reason defines homosexuality as wrong.
depending on blind faith is not enough. To are mere theology and scripture is to abdicate the entire debate over to the homosexual fetishists.
The MSM is having a “legs tingly” obama moment over this.
This was not an accident, this was authorized by an officer, his commander is responsible for the officer, and on up the chain.
Names must be exposed and careers ended over condoning a destructive sexual fetish on a navy vessel.
Not forcing us, moving us in the direction He wants us to.
humor me;
-Before you are born, God knew you will do x at a specific time in 2012
-God cannot be wrong
Can you do anything other than x at that specific time?
That doesn’t have anything to do with God, or a persons belief. It’s not even related?
Do you mean that when these people pray, they say Dear (mony, power, etc), please help me? Do they actually think those things are any more than man-made objects? I just do not understand what you can mean by worshipping these things as they would God.
I’m not saying anything is wrong or right. This ship has a raffle for this event, it’s a big deal after a cruise. It was just a coincidence, that it was a gay couple. Her division also bought tickets in her name, but there were others on the ship that had way more than she did. She won a rqaffle, it’s as simple as that.
A Mother knows her child swiped a cookie. Did she make the child take it? No.
Can you do anything other than x at that specific time?
Just because He saw the choice we made does not mean interference.
You are one of those people that are trying to fit God in a box of YOUR making. YOU are responsible for YOUR free will choices. Not God. Stop trying to blame Him.
There are millions of people that never pray. Why do you assume that they do? They chase after and worship other things. They spend their lives loving things that are NOT God. He doesn't even exist for them.
Everyone has a god. Some of us know God. Some know other gods. Whatever you yearn for in life becomes your god.
