2 women share 1st kiss at US Navy ship's return
[Quoting AP]: VIRGINIA BEACH,
Va. (AP) -- 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 pier
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 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. [Quoting AP]
