Title: Canadian navy makes history with kiss between sailor and same-sex partner

The first kiss for a returning sailor after a long deployment at sea is a sweet and memorable tradition.

But in what is believed to be a first for the Royal Canadian Navy, that time-honoured ceremonial kiss was between two men.

There were loud cheers today when Master Seaman Francis Legare embraced his partner, Corey Vautour, after more than eight months at sea.

"I have been away for 255 days, so it feels great," a smiling Legare said. "I am speechless."

HMCS Winnipeg, which has a crew of 250, returned to Victoria on Tuesday after a tour in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.

Being the first sailor off a ship is considered an honour and privilege in the Canadian navy, and it's decided by a random raffle.

But it's a sign of the times that the navy is on board with a kiss that may have been considered controversial not too long ago.

"We are reflective of society and we do recruit across all across society," Rear Admiral Gilles Couturier, commander of the Pacific Navy, said. "If we don't adapt, we won't have any sailors joining."

Willie is just attracted to any story that involves seamen.

Willie,you beat me to the Village People song that was actually used as a recruiting tool by the Navy back then.

There is a reason sailors call each other "ship mates".

BTW,why does Canada even have a Navy? Anybody know? IIRC,the last time they were invaded by a foreign military force it was a long boat full of Vikings. That's been a while ago.

I could see a Coast Guard,but a Navy?

American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
