And two Naval officers have become the first same-sex couple to share the Navy’s traditional “first kiss.” In front of a cheering crowd on a dock at Virginia Beach on Wednesday, Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta kissed her girlfriend of two years, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell, after Gaeta returned from 80 days at sea. Gaeta won a raffle for the right to the traditional first kiss after the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
