Agree. It might have been a minorly cute story, but going on breathlessly about how historic a moment it was implies that the RCN has been hiding gay sailors under a rock until today. There hasn't been a policy against gays in the Canadian Military since 1992. There have been gay ship's captains, gay coxswain's and plenty of gay sailors - and there's definitely been kissing going on. Hell the Navy's so gay the Village People wrote a song about it.
This is just the CBC being idiots. A nice moment for the MS, but far from historic territory.
