2 women share 1st kiss at US Navy ship's return

I see alot of liberals in here arguing that this is no big deal, and that those that are even talking about the coverage of it must have some sort of problem with the act, or hinting are homophobic in some way, even with posting to the contrary. I also have seen the argument in here that this was spontaneous in some way, and that one report even compared it to the famous kiss in Time Square NY after WWII. I did find this interesting tid bit, seemingly overlooked by all in the WaPo story about it....

Navy officials said it was the first time on record that a same-sex couple was chosen to kiss first upon a ship’s return. Sailors and their loved ones bought $1 raffle tickets for the opportunity.

2 women share 1st kiss after US Navy ship returns to Virginia, 1st since repeal of gay ban - The Washington Post

So the Navy Chose these people to mug for the cameras....Doesn't that bother anyone.....'Hey, look how open and progressive we are! We have lesbians!'

It's more of celebrating soldiers coming home but whatever.

No, it has to do with a photo-op to push a gay agenda down our throats. It's the government becoming (again) involved in morality. And what a laugh that "gay is the chosen word for a group of people that are always whining about one thing or the other.
 
All the "media" has to do is stage 1 photo and get one half the country hating the other half.

How will you ever unite to combat the real bad guys?

Campaign rhetoric aside, this administrations goal was NEVER to unite anyone.

Funny, the only whining I see is coming from you and other anti-gay supporters.

Doesn't bother me, just the other anti-gay supporters. They can go pound sand.
 
Frankly it doesn't matter one iota to me if you think this was significant or not. It was significant to many (including myself), so if you don't like it, don't read it.

I have been a gay rights activist for many years. I have friends and some family members that are gay and this indeed is significant to all of us. To each their own.

Since you don't care, let me ask you this. Why would you quote me saying that the article is celebrating a lesbian kiss by someone who came home in a uniform and that the article is not about about celebrating soldiers coming home and then write what you wrote? What are you trying to say to me then if it is not to imply whether I believe it is significant or not?

I stated exactly what I did because I didn't know your position (for or against it being significant). I stated my views of it quite clearly afterwards. Again, nowhere did I state you didn't think it was significant.

It would be antithetical to work with a group you believe is bent on destroying what this country is don't you think? Oh, and BTW, you want to talk about working with others? I suggest you go back to when Pelosi, and liberals controlled the house and you tell me how interested Pelosi was in working with repubs? Not very.

People like you disgust me because you think that anyone that doesn't think exactly like you do wants to destroy the country. Grow up, there is more than one way to do things and your way is not the only way nor always the correct one. The Dems do not want to destroy this country and neither does Obama. Maybe when people such as yourself die out this country will once again try to work together.

Oh I am not whining...simply pointing out the obvious elephant in the room. Funny I should say elephant because I've never sen a homosexual elephant, maybe a few donkeys, but never an elephant. (lol)

I have, many Republicans have come out of the closet.

Major case of projection going on with this post of yours.

It is about the sensationalization of a lesbian kiss that happen to be in uniform. I am not against it, but be honest.

I assume that you also believe that the other famous soldier kiss what simply about the sensationalization of a heterosexual kiss by a guy that happened to be in uniform....right? Let's be honest.

Im not the one saying don't work with the other side, you are. No projection at all on my part.
 
Why is two women kissing news?

Why is Katey Perry getting a divorce news? Simply because to others it is. Just like this is.

However, in both instances, noone is forcing you to be in this thread or read about it.

Did you forget that you wrote:

heh, heh...You are a real pip I tell ya. People such as myself? So you want conservatives to "die" so that you can....Work...with people that agree with you....HAHAHAHA! Yeah, no projection at all....

Nope I said people like you (as in people like you who think the other side is the enemy and wants to destroy America, that goes for the lefties as well that think this way). Leaving the world to other conservatives and liberals that actually want to work together.

Nice projection indeed of yourself there.
 
This is a good point too. Why is this news?

Because it is interesting to other people. Just because you or I don't think it is news, doesn't mean it isn't.

I know. Still stupid. Most people can tell me more about Katie Perry's personal life than they can about current events that are shaping our country and our future.

..."want to work together"...interesting choice of words

If anyone is diametrically opposed to the views of another, how do they work together? They don't. One wins and one loses. It's why someone invented swords long ago. In America we tolerate each other...but we don't always attend each others barbques!
