Pentagon plans to hold Gay Pride month event By Jeremy Herb - 06/14/12 05:17 PM ET

The Pentagon is planning to hold an event celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Pride month.

The move comes less than a year after the Defense Department’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy toward gay and lesbian service members was repealed.

Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Lainez said the Pentagon is planning its first event for LGBT Pride month, which will be held later in June. Details about the event had yet to be finalized, she said.

The event for Pentagon employees comes after the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, the 1990s policy wherein gay service members could be kicked out of the military if they disclosed their sexual identity, was repealed last year.

The repeal, passed by Congress in the 2010 lame-duck session, has been implemented thus far with few reported issues from the U.S. military.

The repeal of DADT was one of President Obama’s biggest policy victories for the gay-rights community.

Obama issued a presidential proclamation at the start of the month declaring June LGBT Pride month, where he talked about the repeal of DADT.

"Because we repealed ‘Don't ask, don't tell,’ gay, lesbian, and bisexual Americans can serve their country openly, honestly, and without fear of losing their jobs because of whom they love," Obama wrote.

I am reminded of the Faculty Rules for the University of Wallamalloo:

Rule #1: No poofters!
Rule #2: No member of the faculty is to maltreat the "Abos" in any way whatsoever—if there's anyone watching.
Rule #3: No poofters!
Rule #4: I don't want to catch anyone not drinking in their room after lights out.
Rule #5: No poofters!
Rule #6: There is no... rule six.
Rule #7: No poofters!

And of course, this training film?

You missed a few of those pertinent points, to wit:

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

So glad I retired before I had to witness this shit up close and personal.

I used to be proud to say the military was a good career choice. I’m no longer on that band wagon.

Pentagon to celebrate a mental illness which causes an perverted, unnatural urge in 2% of men to insert their sex organ into another man's anal cavity and vice versa.

Pentagon to worship a degenerate society of people who once angered God so much that he destroyed a population.

Pentagon to fete a movement who has taken a Judeo-Christian symbol of a certain promise from God (rainbow) and used it as a symbol of "pride" in their perverted sickness.

Pentagon to assist and enable a group of citizens who wish to destroy the moral and Christian fabric of our country...which allowed us to recover from 9/11 (remember 9/11 Mr. SecDef?), a mere 10 years after 9/11.

Pentagon to indulge a class of citizens who wish to undermine and insult the Constitution of the United States, and carve out special citizen status for themselves based not on race or gender, but on a mental illness and its accompanying behavior. There are already special considerations (and even a sign) for these people:



When the pushback comes (and it WILL come) it won't be pretty.

Massachusetts Mittens is a homo-hugging scumbag.
He never spent a day in the military, right?

Mittens hasn't spent one minute in the military, nor has any relative of his in living memory. He was Viet era, so his dad likely was WWII era, and both managed to miss those dances. Odd, isn't it?

None of his kids, in this era of national need, has managed to stray anywhere near a uniform, and somehow it's all believable when he salutes the flag and says how much he loves his country.

I believe he received a long list of deferments throughout Vietnam, during those years in which he was vulnerable for the draft. College deferment, graduate deferment, I'm living in France deferment, and the infamous I'm too important deferment. On a side note, my uncle, a DDay Army vet who was a machine gunner, had a massive stroke yesterday and is nearing the end today. He would never speak of that day. To this day, he hasn't spoken of it or any portion of his trip across Europe other than to acknowledge his presence. Now he is unable to speak of it. An 87 year old treasure soon to pass to his reward unless God directly intervenes. The greatest generation earned better politicians than they were given. The Romney's are part of the crowd that they deserved better than. No Viet-Mitt is a paragon of the family tradition.

I hope this young man can find a sensible marriage partner from among today’s stay-in-bed, facebook, worship-me-I’m-a-princess western women; most of whom have the golden uterus complex: http://www.shrink4men.com/2011/05/17/does-your-wife-or-ex-wife-have-a-golden-uterus-complex-15-characteristics-of-the-golden-uterus/

Chivalry shouldn’t apply to such cretins usually aged 45 and younger.

I hope dad is warning him about this!

Well lets look at the facts.

The USA allows deviants to serve openly in our military and promotes that lifestyle as normal. Yeah right I am going to lay down my life to defend that?

The USA kills unborn children and calls it choice. Yeah right I am going to lay down my life for that?

The USA fights in wars at the behest of its president, that have little or nothing to do with national defense, and more to do with promoting the globalist socialist new world order not to mention weakening us financially. Yeah right I am going to lay down my life for that?

The USA betrays Israel to give up Israel’s land for peace with enemies that want nothing better than to kill every Jew on the planet. Yeah right I am going to lay down my life for that?

The USA allows some religions to have a say in our schools but others (like Christians) do not get a say. Yeah right I am going to lay down my life for that?

The USA prints money that has no value wrecking the the lives of future generations for the benefit of the current one. And it over taxes its people to pay bad debt notes to a Federal Reserve that then moves the money out of the country. Yeah right I am going to lay down my life for that?

Don’t get me wrong. I love my country. but I despise what it has become. And like Christ said dont throw your pearls before swine. Don’t give up you life for an American ideal that has become nothing more than a politcal anachronism.

Sodomy, a perverted, degenerate sex act that was outlawed in the US military by the father of this country,
George Washington, is now being treated as normal and legal in the US military, and being celebrated. How damn far can this country fall as a nation? Sad and pathetic.

Can’t honestly say I could recommend the military as a career for any young person these days. Obama and complicit Generals and Admirals have ruined it.

Young people go to church? I have a few family members in the education field ranging from teaching 14-22 year olds and they all tell me that the kids born in the 1980s and 1990s are among the most radical communist God hating atheists they’ve ever taught or seen.

The idolize Stalin and Lenin and want to kill those on the right wing and destroy Chruches and religious institutions. And I’m not talking leftist states either. Mt family members are in traditional Republican states.

I don’t know who brainwashed them or what brainwashed them but something has brainwashed the youth. The thing that scares me to death is they won’t be young forever. The day will come where they run the businesses, courts, and government.

I’m just appalled. My active duty boss (Brigadier General) and I have agreed that we’re not celebrating anything with regard to this travesty. I did think of a slightly long bumper sticker:

Celebrating Gay Pride is like
Rejoicing over Suicide:
I won’t do it because I care too much about my troops.

Colonel, USAFR
