FIRST GAY MALE KISS IN CANADIAN NAVY HISTORY!
Master Seaman Francis Legare made Canadian Navy history this week when the HMCS Winnipeg docked in Victoria and he greeted his partner Corey Vautour.
The couple embraced and kissed in what was the “first kiss” between a male sailor returning from sea and his male partner.
It’s a time-honoured Navy tradition that there’s a raffle to decide which sailor is allowed off a ship first to kiss a loved one after an extended time at sea, acting sub-lieutenant Kyle Reed said.
This time, Legare won the draw and the right to kiss Vautour after spending almost nine months away from home.
“It’s the first same sex kiss for males, but it’s not the first same sex kiss ever.
“It’s a very positive thing,” said Reed, who added that the encounter showcases a “more inclusive, more tolerant” Navy.

"Tennessee" Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983)
Our late, great American playwright & gay icon.
After years of obscurity, he became suddenly famous with The Glass Menagerie (1944), closely reflecting his own unhappy family background. This heralded a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947),
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959). His later work attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences, and alcohol and drug dependence further inhibited his creative output.
His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is considered one of the finest American plays of the 20th century.
Much of Williams' most acclaimed work was adapted for the cinema. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays and a volume of memoirs including ONE ARM and DESIRE AND THE BLACK MASSUER.

“A cardinal rule of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice.
As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”
