Less than a year after the Defense Department's "Don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) policy toward gay and lesbian service members was repealed, the Pentagon says it will hold its first-ever Gay Pride event Tuesday.
The event is likely to be a more toned-down version of the Gay Pride parades that take place every June in cities around the world—sans the flags, wigs, beads and boas. (Though some have suggested rainbow camo or berets.)
Instead, the Pentagon has planned a somber-sounding panel discussion entitled "The Value of Open Service and Diversity," according to a Defense Department press release.
The event will also have a keynote speaker: the Pentagon's top lawyer Jeh Johnson, who co-chaired the 2010 study on how a DADT repeal might affect combat operations, housing and other issues, according to the Washington Post.

“Your participation is expected”.
In other words, if you don’t show up, your FitReps or Evals will note a lack of interest in the command’s diversity and equal opportunity programs.
Translation: Kiss any chance of future promotion goodbye.
Instead of a 21 gun salute there will be a circular firing squad...
How sad this is.
This country has turned to shit.
In Your Face America!!! From your friends at the Pentagon!
Unfortunately we have far, far to go before we see the worst of the social catastrophe that mainstream heterosexual humanity gets to embrace, accept, gaydom in all its sinister, diabolical forms gets to conquer.
Back in the 60s, faggots were drummed out on a general discharge just to help save platoon morale. Now they’re celebrated, and all the normal soldiers have to stand aside and let them destroy our military.
The all-female navy vessel was embarassing, and now this. Do they expect normal people to enlist and have to bunk with these perverted faggots (or is that redundant?)?
The military police should be able to arrest anyone in this photo and should have them imprisoned for their gross disrespect to our flag. What a horrible dishonor to all soldiers who went before them.
If this aint a crying shame ,nothing ever was.
This country isn’t long for this world.
Disgusting. Some warriors these Pentagon types are. They’re afraid of a bunch of fairies. No wonder the Muslims think they can beat us.
I’m still trying to figure out what sexual preference has to do with serving your country. This parade is discriminatory. When’s the heterosexual’s parade?
If this aint a crying shame ,nothing ever was.
Yes. God will not be mocked.
I guess there is more fact than fiction to that old war song lyric........”We’ll ALL be gay........when Johnny comes marching home”
(spit) I am so glad I retired before the Joint Chiefs became a circlejerk of queers!
Sad part....you tell em to kiss yer azz ..... They will.
What the hell has this regime turned our government and country into?
Everything is about destroying our nation’s traditional values and turning everything into a sinful orgy atmosphere.
That old song was penned before “being gay” was hijacked.
The goal here is to drive down enlistments. Then our socialist government will ask foreign troops to inhabit U.S. soil via the United Nations. Agenda 21 taking shape!
Our armed forces and miltiary personnel need to be the best of the best.
There is no room for “Diversity” and “Political Correctness”.
america has a bullseye painted on it.
This is Obama for ya.
And Romney? Too chicken to speak now, though he may quietly call it off once in office.
Couldn’t Congress itself put an end to this?
