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 2^nd Class Marissa Gaeta won the right to be the first to exit the vessel and be greeted by her partner, Petty Officer 3^rd 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.”
