This really is such a beautiful, important moment for the country!

We're so thrilled it was captured on camera!

For the first time since Don't Ask Don't Tell was repealed, a lesbian couple was chosen by raffle to receive the first-ever same-sex homecoming kiss, which is a ritual done in the Navy every year!

And the lucky winners? Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta, who greeted her fiancée Citlalic Snell - whom she met at boot camp and got involved with secretly until the September repeal - on the pier for the history-making smooch!

So wonderful! Ch-ch-check it out (above)!

As Gaeta says:

"It's nice to be able to be myself."

Exactly. A simple right that EVERYONE should have.

Congratulations, ladies!

And EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL!
