Kiss marks first time on record that a same-sex couple was chosen for homecoming tradition
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A Navy tradition caught up with the repeal of the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" rule on Wednesday when two women sailors became the first to share the coveted "first kiss" on the dock after one of them returned from 80 days at sea.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta of Placerville, Calif., descended from the USS Oak Hill amphibious landing ship and shared a quick kiss with her partner, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell of Los Angeles. The crowd screamed and waved flags around them.
Both women, ages 22 and 23 respectively, are fire controlmen in the Navy. They met at training school and have been dating for two years.

It's immoral and it's wrong. Shame on you! Liberal Moron!
About time for this DADT nonsense to end! It's none of our business.
You homophobic haters should be rounded up and put on a reservation for animals. You're a disgusting, primitive pack of jackasses.
A national embarrassment.
If you people are disgusted by this, you should see what goes on while out to sea!
