I thought there would be a lot more outcry about it. Apparently there were the usual disgusting displays of gay sex in the parade.
Why the Navy had to dishonor itself by participating in this is beyond me.
I think the public-relations departments in the Armed forces are like PR departments everywhere, mainly staffed by gays and lesbians.
also I never understood why there wasn’t more trouble about the ‘First Kiss’ crap — a Navy female lesbian officer kissing her girlfriend -— that came out as soon as the policy was announced. They had to have had it ready.
If DOD allows in-uniform parading FOR gay rights, how can DOD (constitutionally) bar in-uniform parading AGAINST gay rights, e.g., a parade by service members who oppose the repeal of DODT?
No matter your stance on the underlying policy, I fail to see how any court would not agree that Equal Protection requires permitting someone in uniform to parade against X if parading FOR x is allowed.
What is disgusting are the flag officers who just rolled over and allowed this.
Must be too close to retirement time.
This is a precedent they are going to regret setting.
Say goodbye to the words “conduct unbecoming.”
Anything goes now in Obama’s corrupted military.
about time a couple of them get the guts to take on the social homo agenda , and good for them now if only the GOP could follow suit.
The only reason they have made a mockery of the military and the social stance is because to may, far too many have kept teir mouths shut and the public stays in the dark about this dangerous communist , mental sickness agenda.
Just wondering, is bisexuality and transgenderism also allowed in the military?
When are we Americans going to stand up to craziness? Any movement with the “BT” added to lgbt is a radical crazies movement.
Playing dress up, taking hormones to “change” gender, and going both ways are not worthy of serious political or societal respect.
Ah,, for the good ol’ days when soldiers and airmen and sailors were only allowed off base in civilian cloths or full dress uniform. Now they go off base in what we called “fatigues” and “utilities” and wear the full dress uniform in gay pride parades.
Randy and Jim will be getting a little something from me for speaking out.
About time.
Best quote from the article:
“If the Navy can punish a Chaplain for participating in a pro-life event or a Marine participating in a political rally, it stands to reason that DOD should maintain the same standard and preclude service members in uniform from marching in a gay pride parade,” Inhofe said. “I respectfully request a detailed explanation of the rational you used to grant this ‘one time waiver’ of DOD policy, who requested the waiver, why this waiver was considered justified over other requests, and whether you are considering other exceptions to current policy.”
This is NOT the military that my dad, brother, and husband served in..nor my many uncles who served in WW1 and WW11...
obama was not raised an AMERICAN and he does NOT know the History of this Nation...all he does is read what someone writes for him..I laughed when I read his remarks about Sally Ride...bet he didn't even know what or who she was, he just reads or someone reads what was written for him..what a joke he has been..time to VOTE HIM OUT.
Republicans are always “blasting” something.
Rats are more reasonable, don’t you know.
Took ‘em long enough.
“Head Quarters, V. Forge, Saturday, March 14, 1778: At a General Court Martial whereof Colo. Tupper was President (10th March 1778) Lieutt. Enslin of Colo.

Yay, Randy...
We are so lucky to have him as our congressman. Makes life so much easier....
Wish he would rip more heads off though...
Sorry, listened to heavy metal today.
"Rational" is actually an adjective meaning "reasonable." It cannot meaningfully be applied to any of the PC garbage thrown at us by the PC left--nor can it be applied to leftists themselves collectively or individually. Inhofe actually wanted their "rationale," the public-relations BS they dream up to justify cowtowing to an insane administration that has chosen to cowtow to a mentally ill group with plenty of campaign cash on hand.
No one stops the Gay Lobby March to Victory.
That's probably true; but ... President Abraham Lincoln's fingerprints might be on it too.
