Wasn’t it Ann Coulter who argued (in jest?) that we need a more nuanced gays in the military policy, where gay women could be out, but gay men had to neither ask nor tell?
Anyway, here’s a heart-warming video about a lesbian Navy couple getting to share the ceremonial first kiss as one of their ships docks. Whatever you’re expecting, you’re going to be surprised. (Via Ace.)

There were zero surprises in this video. I was expecting gay agitprop and I got it delivered by lipstick lesbians who are the preferred messengers. I mean come on Jonathan what was “surprising” about it? Am I supposed to think a modern American crowd would boo? Liberals might think that but conservatives don’t. It did not warm my heart. I put it in the “sad decline” box. I’m sure John Paul Jones and Bull Halsey are wowed by the increases fighting fitness of a ship with not only women by saphics on it! Had Napolean thought of it we would not know the name of Nelson.

What was surprising is that they were both kinda cute!

That video just reminds me why I have one foot in the reactionary blogosphere — if it was up to me women wouldn’t be allowed to serve in the military at all.

I try not to miss any video of women kissing each other but got bored after the 20 second mark and stopped. There is indeed a 1st time for everything, as Tim from The Office once said.
Anyway, after they wrangle their desk jobs both will easily be able to get married (to men, or rich lesbians, whatever) and settle down somewhere in Stafford County, because money is nice

How fortuitous that the first gay military kiss was between to hot, white, lesbians! It almost seems . . . planned. I wonder if the crew would have cheered a pair of doughy, mustachioed Filipino dudes who work in the galley. Somehow, I doubt it.

Eugene Volokh at The Volokh Conspiracy made a pretty decent case a while back that if any women serve in the military it should be lesbians. Worth digging up.

jjv, for what it’s worth, no one equates conservatives with modernity. So no worries!
