Gay military personnel can wear uniforms in parade, Pentagon says

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Saturday's parade through San Diego's Hillcrest neighborhood is the city's first gay pride parade since the repeal of the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy that prohibited gay military personnel from serving openly.

SAN DIEGO — Gay military personnel can wear their uniforms in San Diego's LGBT Pride Festival and parade, the Pentagon said Thursday.

An announcement from the office of the deputy assistant secretary of Defense said that wearing their uniforms is permitted "provided service members participate in their personal capacity and ensure the adherence to military service standards of appearance and wear of the military uniform."

The navy, like the clergy, does seem to appeal to homosexuals.

Maybe that is how they cope with sea sickness. It does something to the brain.

I only knew of one case when I was in the Marines...... he got the boot in what would be the textbook reason of what can happen with this in the military.

Glad to leave the military when I did. I didn't have to face this junk.

How come you can't wear a uniform at a Ron paul rally or in a pro-life march but you can for this?

The thing about Obama is if he were honest, he would have to check the box that said "Other".

and that is an excellent point. Your not supposed to use the uniform in any personal capacity to express your view point. Political rally etc. I am all for Gay rights, but it is absurd to allow them to break a regulation just for that purpose.

I am consistent with what I think is the true path for me.

In principle most people that "claim" a brand of faith generally are though they might differ on details. Obama (from his interveiws on the topic) clearly does not even have the basics of Christianity to claim, yet I don't think he is any more muslim.

He is a hybrid yet mostly based in the Social justice philosophy with a good measure of Rev. Wright's race-theology on top.
