| US military allowed to wear uniforms at gay pride http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18919556 The US military will for the first time allow its members to wear uniform at a gay pride march. The permission was granted for the Gay Pride Parade in San Diego, California, on Saturday, a military-wide Pentagon directive said. The memo said the move was a one-off exception for this year's march only. It comes after a longstanding ban on openly gay people serving in the US military - known as "don't ask, don't tell" - was ended last year. "Based on our current knowledge of the event and current policies, we hereby are granting approval for service members in uniform to participate in this year's parade," Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence Rene Bardorf said in the directive.

| Maybe Mr. Bardorf shouldn't disregard Directive 1334.1 They never shove the Directives aside, but now they do because of gay pride?

| It is an insult to those of us that have worn the uniform, to encourage this. If a gay service person wants to march, then march in civvies. This is another chance for the administration to pander for votes. SEABREEZE 1957 and Baja28 like this. |

| These parades are a VERY bad move for the US because: We'll be at war with Islam for the rest of our lives. Muslims HATE & kill all homos. Homos will be more prevalent and visible in our military now. The enemy will step up it's inside attacks (Hasaan tactics) on our bases now. Am I the only one who thinks like this? BOP likes this.

| What concerns me about this is that I thought, when entering the military, you agree not to use your uniform in any demonstration of this nature. If that is the case then the military would be encouraging MORE decisiveness due to the special treatment of one group of individuals over another - and that is counterproductive to the movement of treating everyone equally.
