Canadian Navy Makes HIstory

I came across an article about a same sex couple and by the article the reaction of the community and the media around was not what you would have expected. A male member of the Canadian Navy was accompanied by his partner at the dock. The two exchanged a kiss, the crowd applauded, videos and pictures of this moment were captured because this was the first time ever that a return from deployment kiss between a same sex couple had happened. The Commander was asked about how he felt about it and said "We are reflective of society and we do recruit across all across society". I thought this was big for the commander to say this because it shows that the LGBT community isn't fully accepted yet but they are making improvements because society is starting to realize that you have to accept all different people because if you do not you will end up with nothing due to bias thoughts. I also found out that in the U.S. Navy's first same sex post deployment  kiss for both males and females happened within the last decade. Canadian Navy Makes History
