Liplocked Marine And Boyfriend’s Photo Goes Viral

LezGetReal: To everyone who has responded in a positive way. My partner and I want to say thank you. Dalan, the giant in the photo, can’t believe how many shares and likes we have gotten on this. We didn’t do this to get famous,or something like that we did this cause after 3 deployments and four years knowing each other, we finally told each other how we felt. As for the haters, let em hate…to quote Kat Williams, everyone needs haters, so let them hate. We are the happiest we have ever been and as for the whole PDA and kissing slash hugging in uniform…it was a homecoming, if the Sergeants Major, Captains, Majors, and Colonels around us didn’t care…then why do you care what these random people have to say? In summation thank you for your love and support. I received a lot of friend requests off this. I don’t just accept requests so if your request was because of this post message me and let me know. Goodnight all, and Semper Fi.

How Officer and a Gentleman should have ended

Gawker: It’s too bad the world is going to end next year, because sometimes it seems like it might actually be kind of okay: this is a video of Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta, chosen by raffle to receive the ritual first homecoming kiss, greeting her fiancée Citlalic Snell on the pier—the first same-sex homecoming kiss in Navy history. The couple met in boot camp and kept their relationship secret until the September repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. “It’s nice to be able to be myself,” says Gaeta.

Play fair, jarhead-lesbians…

But What Do Military Action Figures Think About The DADT Repeal?

Queerty:In the run up to the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal, plenty of polls, surveys and questionnaires asked voters, soldiers and politicians how they felt about allowing gays into military. But you know who they didn’task? The military action figures fighting battles every day on the shag carpets and playsets of family bedrooms.

Artic mission soldier Snow doesn’t have a problem with people “trying to taste each other’s rainbows”—he does have a problem with those who daydream about baloney sandwich sex though.

Jungle don’t mind gays in the military either. Heck, the gay dude he knows makes the ultimate wingman. Jungle also don’t mind when ladies send him bras and panties in the mail either because, “Jungle likes it nasty.”

 

Straight, Gay Service Members Looking Forward To Asking, Telling Come September

 

TheOnion: With Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, the policy on gay men and women serving in the military, set to expire Sept. 20, tens of thousands of U.S. service members are reportedly busy gearing up for marathon sessions of asking and telling. “Finally, after years of being silent about my sexual orientation, I can get all this built-up telling out of my system,” Cpl. Kevin Lassally said Thursday, telling reporters he had already made an exhaustive mental inventory of all the people he was going to ask. “I think I’ll probably send out a bulk e-mail to get my telling over with all at once. That way, I can free up most of my time for asking. Man, this is gonna be great. I’m totally asking the colonel.” Pentagon officials said they have canceled two planned invasions in anticipation of the military slowdown expected to occur while troops are getting all their asking and telling out of the way.
