I know many of you have seen this story already on facebook but I feel it deserves repeating.
Virginia Beach, VA- Marissa Gaeta and Citlalic Snell were the winners of a raffle allowing them to have the "first kiss" upon Marissa's homecoming after 80 days at Sea. This is the first time a gay couple has been allowed to participate in this Navy tradition.
Sailors bought tickets for the opportunity to have the "first kiss", Marissa apparently bought 50 which is not a lot in comparison to what other sailors bought. The money from the drawing went to a Christmas party for the sailors and their families. Marissa said all her fellow crew members were supportive of her winning. Here is a link to the adorable picture of them:

This story was so cool, esp. cause it was Navy!! haha jk, seriously that was like super sarcastic...the second part about the navy I mean. The first part totally serious.
ReplyDeleteFour years in the Navy and I never gave a crap about the first kiss. For some reason it seems a bit more exciting. Glad to see people be allowed to be exactly who they are, wherever they are.
