It’s a time-honored tradition at Navy homecomings—one lucky sailor is chosen to be first off the ship for the long-awaited kiss with a loved one. Today, for the first time, the happily reunited couple was gay. The dock landing ship Oak Hill has been gone for nearly three months, training with military allies in Central America. As the homecoming drew near, the crew and ship’s family readiness group sold $1 raffle tickets for the first kiss. Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta bought 50—which is actually fewer than many people buy, she said, so she was surprised Monday to find out she'd won. Her girlfriend of two years, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell, was waiting when she crossed the brow. They kissed. The crowd cheered.

Thank you

"...there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military."

I mean, seriously...why the fuck do you really care? You want to go back to Don't Ask Don't Tell? Really? They are there already! You're willing to have them risk their lives for you...just as long as they don't tell anyone?

David Bauer, the commanding officer of the USS Oak Hill, said that Gaeta and Snell's kiss would largely be a non-event and the crew's reaction upon learning who was selected to have the first kiss was positive.

"It's going to happen and the crew's going to enjoy it. We're going to move on and it won't overshadow the great things that this crew has accomplished over the past three months," Bauer said.


You are owed nothing, but do learn the difference between propaganda and news. Do you really think the military, with its liberally-accused censoring of coffin photos and use of embedded reporters, just happened to have two attractive symbols around? It's not the ladies' fault, I'm sure they weren't in on it.

I like the captain's barely-veiled threat and the suspicious attractiveness of the, ah, participants. Don't expect to see two dudes kissing until after His Earness steals the election this coming year.
