In that circumstance it is never, ever enforced. When a ship pulls in, that is the norm, though not with same sex couples in the past.
But, you admit the regulation exists? Might see some never before seen enforcement of PDA regulations nowadays.
Where are all of DADT's champions? And why didn't the ships crew mutiny after being forced to serve along side a gay individual?

Aww
So sweet. Let freedom ring.
Actually I have never seen it, nor can I find it with a very quick google search, but it may. It was my understanding it was a tradition and not an actual regulation. Selective enforcement of rules is not a navy tradition however. This has to be one of the most stupid arguments I have ever heard.
Once this was posted, I knew he was going to come into the thread and find some way of having a problem with it.
He doesn't hate gays... he just hates them doing anything or being seen in any way or being treated as equals!
Did you know gays can even serve Coffee at Starbucks, and work anywhere they want!

Starbucks taste like burnt water.
And don't you dare call me Starbuckaphobic!
I'll have to beat you up!
Funny he never had a problem with this naval tradition before this story...
To be fair, I don't recall it being brought up in a news piece before this story.

You have never seen the famous picture from WW2 of the sailor kissing the woman?

Libbos never bragged about Navy traditions, before...LOL!!
Now that it's politically correct, Navy traditions are, awesome!
Personally, since I'm not a liberal and I don't believe any one person could even speak so diverse, so undefinable as to its exact members, and so large, I've never had a problem with any Navy tradition I've heard of. And I have heard of this one before this story, I have friends and family who are/were in the Navy. Anyway... I think you can tell by my comments on Army Homecomings that I don't have a problem with public displays of affection on certain occasions, nor am I an Officer who follows the exact lettering of the regulations at all times.
Also I never had a problem with PDAs in some situations before gays were allowed to serve openly, if I was in charge of an Army Homecoming and DADT was still in place I would make the same argument I told you about earlier when I was speaking with my Commander. If I had a Soldier I knew was gay I would be empathic towards them, since they would be unable to show affection toward their partner, but I wouldn't say or think "Since this gay Soldier can't display affection, no one can because its politically incorrect."
So anyway back on topic... Where's you're defense of DADT?
