Active-Duty Military Members To March In Pride Parade
10 News ^ | 23 Jun 2011

SAN DIEGO -- History will be made at this year's San Diego Pride Parade when active-duty military members will march openly through the heart of Hillcrest.

"To my knowledge [it is] the first time in the history of Pride in the United States, ever, that we have said, 'Active duty, you are welcome,'" organizer Sean Sala said. "We want you to be there without fear of repercussions, because we love you."

Sala, an active-duty sailor, said he was bothered to see that police and firefighters were represented in the Pride parade, but not the people who serve this country.

"I thought it was weird because San Diego has the biggest military installation in the United States, and military are public servants as well," he said.

Sala said 200 active-duty members of the military and some veterans have signed up to march at the head of the parade. They will not wear their uniforms because that would violate military regulations. They will instead wear shirts that reflect their branch of service.

"We have made strong emphasis to make sure that this does not violate military policy. Every active-duty person on that float understands that, and every active-duty person on that float respects the military," said Sala.

Why did it take so long for active-duty military to be included in the celebration of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender pride?

"Because of fear and because of nervousness," Sala said. "Because some people thought, 'Oh, if I'm here then people are going to think it's because I'm gay.'"

Sala said many of those who signed up to march are straight. His parents, who both served in the military, will be among them.

The Pride Parade will be held July 16 at 11 a.m.

Because it is an “inclusive” pride event, not just “gays” but lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders...

Heterosexuals need not apply. Lousy breeders. < /sarc >

Some are even promoting it as a fun family event.

As family friendly as an event with KY a$$-lube sponsored trashbins can be.

I agree— TO my understanding the UCMJ has NOT yet been
trash-canned. The Law is still as it was when I served on active duty-except the crap of DADT. If I am right then one cannot openly declare they are homosexual -nor wear military uniform in a Gay Pride event without being recommended for
discharge. Es verdad such action would require leaders willing to request inquiry leading to Court Martial And those seem to have been forced out.

Or, is the gay community co-opting the word “pride” the way they co-opted the word “gay”?

That's exactly what they're doing.

I saw a bumper sticker this morning: "Hokie Pride", in rainbow letters.

I guarantee, the fellow was not advertising that he was proud of having attended (presumably graduated from) the Virginia Polytechnic Institute.

He was advertising that he is a faggot who had attended said institution.

It was all about the faggotry.

They 10% or so want to force the 90% to accept their unnatural behavior. I bet none of the homos would last very long in an islamic county.

>>> Do you ever hear the word “gay” used anymore, except to mean homosexual? Do you ever hear it used in the traditional way anymore?
<<<

Not since my grandmother passed in ‘83. She was always telling us stories about the early days of the 20th, and what a gay time they had. And I know she didn’t mean any homo thing.

I think it has less to dowith mating and more to do with the brat mentality of “everyone else is like me”. And.. the. Less you like it the more in your dace we will be. They are trying to convinceyounger enerations they are normal and benign.

These people marching are the scum of the earth. My greatest fear is that there is never another civil war in this country and that we rot from within without even a whimper of defiance.

The “repeal” isn’t even in effect, and yet they can be open about sodomy. Disgusting and illegal.

They started decades ago in conditioning children that it is evil to discriminate. Remember Polyanna...with Haley Mills......it was against preachers calling sin, a sin (he was so MEAN!!!!).....this conditioning has destroyed moral principles....so if you are honest and a true Christian, you get called a bigot and hater.

This is on purpose....we live in a fascist country where we have no freedom of thought or speech. Speech codes and Alinskyite tactics to shut down dialogue is intentional—to destroy us from within so they can create a one world currency and government. It is obvious. Christians are too independent and self-sufficient and responsible....they need dysfunctional people who will willingly be slaves and sell out their fellow man.

It is why they are repealing DADT....to eliminate the Christians...they will have to be silent or kicked out....then our military will be equivalent to the Russian atheists or the Nazi homosexual Brownshirts....inhumane, evil and disgusting—even made Patton puke. Their immorality makes it easy for the government to use them to kill their own citizens...which our Christian military would not have done.

It took generations of demeaning Christians....forcing God out of the schools in the fifties and out of the public square and removing morality from the schools which John Dewey did intentionally. Remove morality from all decisions....when morality and virtue were the reasons Washington set up public schools in the first place.

They replaced God with “feel good, do it”. The cultural Marxists are doing it to create a vulgar, dysfunctional mass of ignorant people who are addicted to their sensual pleasures....they are easy to control with throwing freebees, like abortions, condoms, etc. They just want their drugs and sex and they don’t give a damn about family, relationships and the future. The radical homosexuals are disgusting and evil and selfish narcissists.

The aggressive perversion pushers are creating a tsunami of sickening evil. When Rs got the majority in the House, some of them said they would defund the repeal of "DADT". They did nothing. Fags in the military will ruin the military and without a strong and principled military our country is ruined.

What about an “Adultery March?” If we’re going to celebrate sin, let’s go all out.

Expect silence from those in the conservative media who claim to be devoted to conservative principles. Hey! Silence some who even cry over the Constitution.
