A historic homecoming kiss by a lesbian
military couple as the USS Oak Hill docked in Virginia Beach after 80
days at sea has been condemned by The Tea Party Nation, media
watchdog RightWingWatch.org
reported.
Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class
Marissa Gaeta won the right to be the first to exit the vessel and be
greeted by her partner, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic
Shell.
The
women shared a kiss on the pier as a crowd waved flags around
them.
A picture and a link to the story was
posted on Obama's re-election blog (barackobama.tumblr.com) along
with the caption: “President Obama signed the repeal of 'Don't Ask,
Don't Tell' into law one year ago today.”
The Party Nation's Alan Caruba
condemned the Navy for sanctioning a “sexual aberration.”
“The U.S. military has been used by
gay and lesbian advocacy groups as a petri dish to force social
change,” Caruba wrote in a message to members.
“When I was in the Army in the 1960s
…. there was no such thing as 'gay rights' and, were it not for the
incessant demands for them, they would not exist today. Gays and
lesbians play on the inherent sense of fairness and tolerance that is
a hallmark of American society. The result is that homosexuality is
now widely represented in popular culture to the point of being
accepted as 'normal.' It is not 'normal.' It is a sexual aberration
involving a very small portion of the overall population, perhaps no
more than four percent. Always was, always will be.”
“The photo of two Navy lesbians
kissing represents the 'progress' that a vocal minority has made,
given the support of liberal politicians on both sides of the aisle
working against the tide of resistance of majority Americans who are
fighting the social implications of 'gay rights,' the demands for
'gay marriage,' and the influence over young minds passing through
government school systems.”
