同性戀海軍士兵情侶受到了抵制，因為他們用行動再現(xiàn)了具有象征意義的“二戰(zhàn)之吻”

這對海軍情侶稱他們只是在表達對彼此的愛

A military couple reenacted the classic WW II kiss between a sailor and a nurse after a seven-month deployment.?

一對士兵情侶再現(xiàn)了經(jīng)典的“二戰(zhàn)之吻”，當年的那個吻的主人公是一名水手和一名女護士。

On Dec. 21, sailor Bryan Woodington, 33, stepped off the USS The Sullivans at Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville, Fla., eager to greet Kenneth, his husband of one year. According to News 4 Jax, Bryan was one of 300 sailors returning to their families after seven months in the Persian Gulf and Europe.?

2018年12月21日，33歲的水手布萊恩在美國梅波特海軍基地離開美國軍艦蘇利文號，他非常想見自己的丈夫肯尼什。布萊恩在波斯灣以及歐洲服役了七個月之后回到了自己的家。

“When I saw Bryan, I lost all control and ran over to him,” Kenneth, 30, a special education teacher, tells Yahoo Lifestyle.?

肯尼什是一名特殊教育教師，他對雅虎說：“當我看到布萊恩的時候，我高興的要死，跑向了他?！?br/>
The couple won a lottery to perform the ceremonial first kiss, a naval tradition that allows one lucky sailor to disembark first and greet his or her loved one (in 2011, two female sailors were reportedly the first same-sex couple to win).

這對情侶抽中了簽滿心歡喜地親吻起來，美國海軍有一個傳統(tǒng)，那就是讓抽中簽的幸運的水手第一個登陸和自己的最愛的人團聚。在2011年的時候，有兩名女性水手抽中了這個簽，她們是蕾絲邊。

“Bryan suggested that I wear all-white because he wanted to redo that famous photo, but he didn’t know we won the lottery until the day he came home,” Kenneth tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “I had never seen the photo myself.”

肯尼什說：“布萊恩說他希望我穿上全白的衣服，因為他想要重現(xiàn)那張著名的照片中發(fā)生的故事，但是他并不知道自己會抽中簽，一直到他回到家的那一天他才知曉。我從來沒有看過那張照片。”

The dip was impressive, but Kenneth says it’s Bryan’s favorite pose especially when the two dance at home to Lana Del Rey. “I do yoga so it doesn’t hurt my back,” jokes Kenneth.

情侶親吻時的身體傾斜讓人印象深刻，肯尼什說這是布萊恩最喜歡的姿勢，尤其當他們在家中時特別喜歡這個姿勢?？夏崾舱f：“我練習(xí)瑜伽，所以，這個姿勢不會傷到我的背?！?br/>
After local television channel News 4 Jax interviewed the couple, the station reported it was “bombarded” by enraged viewers who wrote, “How sad that your station has dropped to such a low as to show a gay couple kissing on your newscast,” “I’ll never watch your news again!!!! So long, News4Jax” and, “I thought this was a ‘family friendly’ news channel.”

在電視臺采訪了這對同性戀情侶后，激怒了群眾，有的群眾批評稱：“怎么能播報基佬親吻的新聞呢？”有的人說：“我再也不看你們的新聞了?！钡怯腥苏f：“我認為這是一個適合家庭觀看的電視頻道?！?br/>
But Kenneth and Bryan are bolstered by friends, family and the public. On Naval Station Mayport’s Facebook page, people wrote, “A new twist on an old favorite! Love it!” and “I wish my Husband would kiss me like this!”

但是肯尼什和布萊恩受到了朋友們和家庭成員們一級社會公眾的支持，在網(wǎng)上有一些網(wǎng)友發(fā)文稱：“一對情侶再現(xiàn)了過去的經(jīng)典！我非常喜歡！”還有人寫道：“我希望我的丈夫也能用這種方式來輕吻我?！?br/>
Some feigned disapproval by writing, “This makes me sick to my stomach. White shoes after Labor Day” and “This is disgusting. The weather should be ashamed of itself looking all gloomy.”?

一些人不贊同這種事，他們寫道：“這讓我反胃。”“這太惡心了?？吹竭@種負面的場景連老天爺都感到害臊。”

“There are people who see the beauty in it,” Kenneth tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “As for those who don’t, have a nice day.”?

肯尼什說：“有些人從我們的行動中看到了‘美’。至于那些沒有看到這種‘美’的人，我希望他們一切安好?！?br/>
The U.S. Navy and the Naval Station Mayport did not return Yahoo Lifestyle’s requests for comment. Spokesperson Bill Austin told News 4 Jax that a same-sex kiss is “not an issue” and that the Navy is “gender neutral.”
?
美國海軍以及梅波特海軍基地方面的發(fā)言人稱：“同性戀情侶親吻不是什么大不了的事情。海軍對這種事持中立立場。”

“We’re showing our love for each other — we’re not hurting anyone,” Kenneth tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “I’m just a spouse waiting for his sailor.”

肯尼什說：“我們正在向外界展示我們對于彼此的愛。我們并沒有傷害任何人。我只是一個妻子正在等到自己的水手。”
