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.

This is why Johnny Depp isn’t just an actor, celebrity or multi-millionaire, but a freakin’ movie star.Celebrities receive tons of fan mail every day, and after being famous for decades like Johnny Depp, most people would be pretty jaded or out of touch with their fans by now. But, when nine-year-old Beatrice Delap, wrote “Captain Jack Sparrow” a letter asking him to help her and her other classmates stage a “mutiny” against their teachers, she was smart enough to give him the name of her school and signed it “Beatrice Delap, aged nine, a budding pirate.”

Since he was in the area filming Pirates of the Caribbean 4, he decided to visit the school while still in full costume. Without warning the school, the kids or the teachers, Depp arrived at her school in full Jack Sparrow character and dress. Everyone was surprised and no one had any idea why he was there—except for Beatrice.

Depp asked for Beatrice and when she came forth, he whispered to her: “Maybe we shouldn’t mutiny today ‘cos there are police outside monitoring me.” He gave Beatrice a hug, joked with the whole classroom about eating lots of candy and not brushing their teeth, never breaking character, and asked for a big round of applause for Beatrice. He then strutted out of the room and back into their imaginations.
