It’s a time-honored tradition at Navy homecomings – one lucky sailor  is chosen to be first off the ship for the long-awaited kiss with a  loved one. Today, for the first time, the happily reunited couple was gay.
The dock landing ship Oak Hill has been gone for nearly three months, training with military allies in Central America.
As the homecoming drew near, the crew and ship’s family readiness  group sold $1 raffle tickets for the first kiss. Petty Officer 2nd Class  Marissa Gaeta bought 50 - which is actually fewer than many people buy,  she said, so she was surprised Monday to find out she’d won.
Her girlfriend of two years, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell, was waiting when she crossed the brow.
They kissed. The crowd cheered. And with that, another vestige of the policy that forced gays to serve in secrecy vanished.

What makes the attack on “All-American Muslim” more disturbing — and very revealing — is that it was prosecuted by just one person, a person unaffiliated with any established organization on the Christian right, a person who effectively tapped into a groundswell of anti-Muslim bigotry.

(i didn’t realize it was this overblown, but i knew that this “organization” didn’t do 1/100 of what it had claimed to.)

I taped up two large pieces of paper and wrote “Boys” on one and “Girls” on the other… When we got to nail polish and makeup the children were unsure. “There are some very famous rock ’n’ roll bands,” I said, “and the men in those bands wear a lot of makeup.” Some of the children gasped. Then Isabela raised her hand: “Sometimes my uncle wears black nail polish.

first you fight the establishment.
then you become the establishment.
then you either stay there forever and fade, or you choose to fight the establishment.
and the process repeats.

Gay Veteran Talks To Mitt Romney - ABC News

Hi Mitt Romney! Byyyeeeeeee Mitt Romney!

Simultaneously crying and clapping and singing God Bless America! You go, gay Vietnam veteran, sir!

this is why it matters. why it matters who we vote for, what church we tithe to, what wars we fight in, and how we answer when asked a simple question like, why do you feel so strongly?
