Historical Homecoming Kiss of the Day: For the first time in Navy history, a lesbian salior was picked to plant the traditional homecoming kiss on her significant other.
Through a raffle held onboard, Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta won the right to be the first off the ship when Oak Hill docked in Virginia Beach after several months at sea. As part of a time-honored tradition, the first off the ship gets to share the first kiss with a loved one.
23-year-old Gaeta was greeted by her girlfriend of two years, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell, 22, and the two locked lips while the crowd gathered around them cheered.
“It’s something new, that’s for sure,” Gaeta said after the historical smooch. “It’s nice to be able to be myself. It’s been a long time coming.”

Nice. But I wish there were no need for armies other than to help their own country when disasters occur.
I like that idea a lot. Two years to your country and your education is paid for in any college that you qualify to attend. All the time put to civil engineering and infrastructure projects within the country. Ready to be mobilized for emergencies at a moment's notice. Use that training and logistics for something other than destruction for once. Boy that would change the world, wouldn't it?
Love this.
I've always loved the idea of the world's militaries as a global emergency response team. It just makes so much sense.
Yes, I saw this on the news tonight! Yay girls! You rock!
Sweetness! One step closer to eradicating stupid, stupid discrimination & hatred!
