SAN DIEGO (AP) — Some of the loudest cheers Saturday at San Diego's gay pride parade were for active-duty troops marching in military dress, the first time that U.S. service members participated in such an event while in full uniform.

Dozens of soldiers, sailors, and Marines marched alongside an old Army truck decorated with a "Freedom to Serve" banner and a rainbow flag. They were joined by dozens more military personnel in civilian clothes, but the uniforms stood out among the flower-bedecked floats and scantily clad revelers.

Spectators waved signs reading, "Thank you for your service." A woman held a placard that said: "My gay son is a Naval officer."

***

In a memorandum sent to all its branches this year, the Defense Department said it was making the allowance for the San Diego event even though its policy generally bars troops from marching in uniform in parades.

YES!

Prime example is the Marine who got kicked out for having a pro-tea party facebook page.

I walked by the television and heard one of the network news anchors asking in anguished tones “...what can possibly be done to prevent these sexual scandals...” referring to the Air Force in Texas.

My first thought was: “Gee. How about not injecting sex into the entire equation by forcing people of the opposite sex into situations where the raw use of rank and power over inexperienced enlisted personnel.” (It IS vastly different than the civilian world)

As I dwell on this today, just think of what it is going to be like with aggressive, open-homosexuals in the NCO or officer ranks, and throw in homosexuals of lower rank who will be using sex as a tool for advancement, favoritism, revenge, whatever.

It is going to be a mess. But mark my words, you won’t hear about it.

“I never thought I’d live to see that uniform disgraced like that.....it makes me sick..”

For over 40 years I have been proud of and felt honored to serve in our military. I can honestly say that I could not serve in today’s military.

I am beyond disgusted by this disgrace of the uniform.

Why is it that an obsession over genitals has become a cause celebre?

All these people want is to be gable to grab their own....on some one else.

I wonder if they could march in a pro-life event?

To my mind, the hallmark of these homosexual "pride" parades is public obscenity, and while they may have a constitutional right to march, I strongly object to any government endorsement of these festivals of public debauchery. I object when elected officials like San Fran Nan, etc., also participate in the same.

F-IN DISGRACE that is what it is, this is sick and disgusting and for this Govt to allow this shows how sick they are.

This cross dressing and homo crap is a mental sickness dispute how many times a shrink will try and tell us it is not.

Thankfully I've done my time but my sons are not joining now because of this and Romney and the GOP are nothing but spineless cowards when it comes to this agenda or they start to believe the lies and crap from those in DC and the north east etc.

we’re losing this culture war because our side are spineless cowards, hell I bet even some on here remain silent when this topic comes in a conversation so there is no way the GOP are going to say anything.

You think FOX and other channels will mention this, no frigging way.

Obama , Holder, etc has to go , this crap of aloowing homo’s to serve neesd to go and be thrown out but saying that Romney and the other elitist crowd would never push for the overturn of the homo agenda and while that happens then the left impose their sickness and their filthy agenda.

Anyone staying silent on this homo agenda is only helping to defeat the right and the culture war.

Notice how in 73 shrinks changed this homo stuff from a mental sickness, the time when lefty’s were running rampart, now the shrinks are meeting again to throw out certain terms about cross dressers, nah must be a coincidence that now lefty
s lunatics and sicko’s are running the Govt and country, ARF.

What’s with a massive rainbow flag too, ? weirdo’s

and where is the GOP YET A F-IN AGAIN?

. COWARDS and the left keeps in winning when the GOP needs to shout out loud every day that the homo agenda is a sickness, we are talking about a man putting it up another mans rap hole and now flying a flag because of it and saying he’s proud of it.

It’s just sick and I will tell anyone I talk to or see that too.
The country might remain silent but I will not so piss off you queers and your sick nutty, lunatic lefty fools out there and this Govt which needs to be defeated and this homo agenda be defeated especially in our military

my sons, all honor roll A’s, my oldest never been on trouble,works out, very fit, in the sheriffs explorers, and ROTC, strives for promotion etc etc etc you get the picture.

He wants the special forces so bad, he wants to g the marines and then navy seals but he said that if obama wins or Romney does not change the polciy then there is no way he will ever share a shower, a sleeping bag, a room with cross dressing homosexuals etc.

why should he?

Why should he be forced to share a room, sleeping bag in survival training, a shower with a sick perverted nutcase and then have to put up with their mental illness, their comments, their actions and why on earth should he have to put up with seeing a man run around dressed as a woman acting like a woman?

Good young men are now saying no way to this and the military is nothing but a PC establishment which only makes the military weaker.

Men are different to women, men are stronger, men love women and vica versa because nature/God made it that way for the human species to carry on in the world.

Men wanting men is nothing but a sexual perversion, unhealthy unnatural etc but this Govt and those with a sickness mentally try and tell us that men and women are the same, men having sex etc with men is normal etc.

BTW I still have pals serving and one in Afghanistan told me in the past that many camps and bases around the world are having problems with homo’s now but the commanders are trying to keep it silent under orders he thinks from this Govt.

No surprise there

Oh and my sons have life long pals who have also said that there is no way they will join because of this homo crap

My dad loved his time in the Navy during World War II. I am glad he is not around to see this disgusting display of institutionalized perversion. I have served as a reference for several young men who wanted to join the military, and I was proud to do that. Now I am wondering if I did the right thing.

Hi pal, love the tag line BTW.

The first thing the next President nees to do is to ban all homosexuals, cross dressing etc, no more wanting women on Subs, as the Subs are too small, no more talk about women in the infantry.
Get back to how it was when our miltiary was a serious establishment not this nacy pancy, PC liberal pandering social engineering crap we see now.

Some of the people I see in the army in the last couple of weeks was astounding, how they even past the fitness test was shocking.
You know for a woman to get in the marines they only have to do one pull up, one pull up, that si a joke and yet liberals say women are equal in the military and yet they have easier test.
Men , get this, two pulls up and half way through training 3 pull ups

It’s a frigging joke today.
