Pentagon Plans June Pride for Gay Servicemembers: Approve?

What's the matter? It's only allowing them to use their uniform in gay parades! It happens all around the world

I have never disapproved of gays in the military and can still recall many years ago reading about the Air Force sergeant who had 18 years of service and lost everything because he got outed as a gay. He was a war veteran and had medals. I always thought that was an injustice.

That having been said, please note I am not a biased person, but the military is not the place for this nonsense. Serve your country with pride and humility and dignity and leave the personal crap at home.

Glad I retired 20 years ago.
Can you hear the music as they dust of the Bay City Rollers.

They won't be marching I'm sure but they will be " Dancing and a Prancing".

This is what they do with our tax dollars. More shameful tomfukkery from the Maobama regime.

So now we not only define our military by their sexual desires, we make a holiday out of it. Our country is getting so sickening. Where are the REAL men and women in this nation?

That is way I will be fighting this son of a bitch to the bitter end.
Trust me the only person that can keep my mouth shut is not even of this earth.
I was taught to tell the truth no matter who it hurts as long as it is the truth.

You mad bro?

Does the Pentagon have a plan for straight service members?

We need to have a straight pride parade.

NOT A SNOBALLS CHANCE IN HELL

I know, that is why I said what I did.

I don't like it. A parade for the Military should inclusive of all members. THAT is what I call equality.

For a couple of the best friends I've ever made, before DADT was repealed. Besides, from the small picture it appears they are dressed and behaving appropriately. But on the other hand I dont want to have to do mandatory "sensitivity" training, which I know will happen...another one to add to the list...

I totally approve.

AND WHEN IS YOUR WEDDING DATE TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND?
LET ME KNOW SO I CAN SEND PANSIES IN TUTU'S TO HELP

Why do you assume I'm a lesbian? I'm not, but I do support marriage equality for gays and lesbians.

please tell me how two males can procreate?
please tell me how two females can procreate?
Oh, I forgot a female can use artificial insemination or as we used to call them in the old day TEST TUBE BABIES.
but where is a male going to give birth THROUGH HIS BUM.
I don't know if you are a christian or not nor do I really care but it says in the bible to GO FORTH AND POPULATE THE WORLD.....
meaning that you need a male and female to do that...but you want to be punked in the butt or bump coochies, as my children used to say, that is your business but pardon me if I puke on them as they are parading down the street.
I am old and set in my ways and have very good reasons for hating gays ESPECIALLY MALES which is my business.
But knowing Obozo the way most of those that don't like him we will soon be bending over and spreading our cheeks so he can ram it home.
I know that is a dirty way to put it but when you have a moron that you don't like one tends to vent at anyone that will listen.
As to the lesbian thing when one defends something as you have well one assumes they are what the are talking about.

Please tell me why the first two on the list are relevant. Using your twisted logic, we'd deny equality to heterosexual couples who don't have children or who, due to some medical issue, can't have biological children. Your argument is seriously flawed. The remainder of your comments are just obnoxious.

I support marriage equality because it's the moral thing to do.

about as obnoxious as your belief in queers screwing eachother.....excuse me i have to puke and don't want to clean my monitor.

lets just go back to the basics....guess everyone wants extras these days.

I'm very proud of our military leadership, for recognizing the service and patriotism, as well as the courage of our gay brothers and sisters. Of course haters will hate, but the fact of the matter is, there was something wrong, and we've fixed it, and now we can celebrate heroism in all of its forms. To my gay brothers and sisters, I salute you.

Specifically, what was wrong?

They were forced to hide an important fact about who they are.

Do you think we would have won WWII any faster if the homosexuals were open about it?

The purpose of the military is to protect the country, not to make homosexuals feel good about themselves. Same goes for Nasa and the Muslims.

It isn't to make them feel bad about themselves either. Every parade that takes place in this country, soldiers are allowed to march in uniform, except this one, until now. So you can bitch about it all you like, but guess what, gays are getting closer to full equality, and there isn't a damn thing you or your bigoted friends can do about it.

You're weird.

Well argued.

Good Lord. Are those old dinosaurs collecting dust in the Pentagon aware of this? I hope they have their heart meds nearby.

Is it really "equal rights" when you demand something extra?

They aren't demanding it. It's being offered. And given the way they've been forced to hide, it seems like a pretty small gesture.

Sorry, not buying.
You're in the military, you're a soldier. Nothing else.

Well, no. That's not quite true. Speaking only for myself, I'm many things. I'm a soldier, I'm a father, I'm a boyfriend. I'm a friend, I'm an atheist, I'm a Liberal, and I'm a sports-fan. People are allowed to wear their dress uniform to get married, or to a ball held by political leaders. All that this does, is allow soldiers to march in uniform, in the gay-pride parades taking place all over the country. They are now able to show their pride as soldiers. Why is that different than any of the other places we can go in uniform?

I guess you never got told, "If Uncle Sam wants you to have a spouse, he'd issue you one."
