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than a year after the Defense Department’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy toward gay and lesbian service members was repealed.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policy wherein gay service members could be kicked out of the military if they disclosed their sexual identity, was repealed last year.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"Because we repealed ‘Don't ask, don't tell,’ gay, lesbian, and bisexual Americans can serve their country openly, honestly, and without fear of losing their jobs because of whom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.

Worth repeating:

“America, where sodomy is celebrated and righteousness is reviled.

America, land of the freak and home of the depraved.”

Yes, Zero has finished the total transformation of this nation by the institutionalization of sodomy into our armed forces and forcing the indoctrination into normalization of sodomy into all public schools (and the re-education in the military to Evil is Good) to eject Christian Ethics and God. These people are evil. They promote the destruction of morality in all the children. Patton and George Washington are turning in their graves at the promotion of depravity and evil and the destruction of the most moral military in the history of the world.

As all Ethics have proven throughout history-—remove Virtue and you destroy the culture. But that is the marxist -in-chiefs aim. God-Given Rights is what made this country and gave us Freedom and “Higher Law” than Hitlers.

Prediction: One day soldiers of the New Confederate Army will walk over the burning hole in the ground where the Pentagon once sat. Confederate Marines will have no faggots in their ranks.

Hitler’s SA were notoriously homosexual. They camd up withthe Nazi decorations. The SA were the major push behind Hitler gaining power.

what utter B/S and to think some on our side said some time ago that they had no problem with homos marrying because they know a couple and they are nice, the idiots never understood that everytime you appease these sicko’s then they want more and now look at where we are at.

Perverts, cross dressers in the military and now being honoured

I had three great uncles who served under Quantrill. I am proud of their service, but God I wish they had won the war.

So we have a military now that worships and adores queers and wants them to feel oh so special. That really makes us look strong in the world. We will become a laughingstock. Aren’t gays only like 3 % of the population? I don’t get it.

Wait till OER/APRs have a section added to rate gayness or gay tolerance.

Sure lucky SAC is gone or they would direct that if airmen are gay, then they would have to be better than the rest of the commands at it.

“Aren’t gays only like 3 % of the population?”

####

Less than 2%.

And without a perverted media celebrating deviancy and making it fashionably “hip”, the percentage would rocket below 1%.
