Pentagon to observe gay pride month for first time

Quote
Nine months after gays, bisexuals and lesbians were allowed to serve openly in the military, the Pentagon plans to honor them with a gay pride month celebration.

For the first time, the Pentagon will mark gay pride month just as it marks other events honoring racial or ethnic groups, Defense Department officials said.

Officials declined to give details about the event but said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta believes it’s important to recognize the service of gays in the armed forces.
Fabulous!!!!

I would say that this country is headed to hell in a handbasket...but I think someone has thrown away the handbasket and we're being herded to hell.

That is great. Hi5.

As for the pentagon celebrating gay pride month. That will change when Romney is elected. I look for "don't ask, don't tell" to be reinstated.

Can't wait for male lesbian day.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

While I was processing my retirement paperwork, the Senior Chief that ran personnel told me a joke.  He said he had been in the CG when it was illegal & when they started don't ask don't tell.  He said he was damn sure going to retire before they made it mandatory. We laughed at the silly joke.

If there aren't enough local fags for the parade, they will force straights to wear the pride colors to bolster the number of participants.

I'd refuse under religious grounds.

So....

When is the pentagon going to start celebrating the various Extremist Muslim Holidays?

Time off for "Shoot an Infidel day" or blow up a "Christian Church day"?

Words fail. Absolutely fail.

Panetta, that little weasel cocksucker, is bad enough. But then they've got the rest of the DoD that have to follow that kind of bullshit "leadership."

Nothing builds and reinforces the concept of "one team, one fight", esprit de corps, and unity like singling out a tiny minority of a large group and saying "You are more important than the others."
