Pentagon's LGBT 'Pride Month' Comes With a Poster June 24, 2013 - 11:12 AM By Susan Jones

(CNSNews.com) - On Tuesday, June 25, the U.S. Defense Department will give special recognition to "gay, lesbian and bisexual servicemembers" -- as well as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civilian workers -- for their "dedicated service to our country."

And this year, "Pride Month" at the Defense Department comes with a poster:

The red, white and blue poster -- designed for the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute located at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida -- includes the followiong quotation from President Barack Obama:

"For more than two centuries, we have worked to extend America's promise to all our citizens. Armed Forces have been both a mirror and a catalyst of that progress, and our troops, including gays and lesbians, have given their lives to defend the freedoms and liberties that we cherish as Americans."

OutServe-SLDN, an advocacy group for LGBT military personnel, called it "appropriate and gratifying" that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is following the precedent set in 2012 when then-Secretary Leon Panetta hosted the Pentagon's first LGBT Pride Month.

But the group isn't happy that the DOD memorandum announcing Tuesday's Pride event for gays, lesbians and bisexuals did not mention transgenders in uniform:

"While acknowledging transgender civilian DOD employees, the memorandum notably omits any mention of the contributions of transgender people in uniform -– presumably because transgender people remain barred from service by outdated and obsolete medical regulations.

Gag. How revolting.

“barred from service by outdated and obsolete medical regulations.”

You mean, actual medical evidence based regulations.

And here I thought the purpose of the military was to defend the U.S. now I find out it is merely a vehicle for social change. We need to get off the Diversity bandwagon and start thinking about Unity. What we have in common, not our differences.

I wouldn't go into the Army again even if there were a draft (and I was young enough).

Oh su-u-ure.

Enslin to be drummed out of Camp tomorrow morning by all the Drummers and Fifers in the Army never to return; The Drummers and Fifers to attend on the Grand Parade at Guard mounting for that Purpose.

ABHORRENCE AND DETESTATION!

Let me adjust my tin foil hat a moment.
Item: Sargeant gets promoted, serves Chik fil a and gets busted for it.

Item: Chaplains are prevented from traditional worship and prayers.

Item: Homosexuality is cheered and naysayers denounced.

The military would traditionally be an impediment to any seeking the ultimate power. If you work at it hard enough you will drive those patriots out, leaving you with an army of sychophants, committed to personal loyalty instead of constitutional loyalty. Makes it a whole lot easier to paint the citizens as being against the rainbow warriors and the government.

hmmm...don’t put NUTHIN past ‘em.

How many of the most senior military and pentagon leaders would voluntarily step aside and give their jobs to openly gay members?

I’m not suggesting they do it; it’s a question meant to show the quisling-like nature of the appeasement in the military. It reminds me of the nauseating applauding and note-taking of the generals who follow the Kims of North Korea around. We’ve sunk to that level.

Army Chief-of-Staff: “Loss of diversity at Fort Hood would be greater tragedy than loss of life"
Defends Muslims Madness

Posted by thelastcrusade - November 11th, 2009

General George Casey, the highest ranking officer in the U.S. Army, said that the deaths of 12 soldiers and one civilian at Foot Hood would become a far greater tragedy “if our diversity becomes a casualty.”

Appearing on “Meet the Press,” Major Casey warned the media that “it is way too soon to draw conclusions” concerning the motive of Major Nidal Malik Hasan.

He upheld the strategy of keeping Muslims -- even radical Muslims -- in key military positions by saying: “Our diversity is our strength. We have to be broad enough to bring in people from all walks of life.”

The Army’s Chief-of-Staff asserted: As horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.”

General Casey further said that the army hadn’t “missed anything” in regard to the in-your-face warning signs exhibited by Major Hasan that he was a fanatical Muslim jihadist and an imminent threat to massacre U.S. troops.

"Let the military be the most effective fighting machine the world has ever seen..."

That is nowhere on their agenda.

[onyx]

For crying out loud.
ENOUGH of this crap.

[JimRed]

What the heck have they got to be PROUD about?

HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.

Please tell this is from the Onion.

IIRC, we can't post the Onion here.

Absurd! ............................ FRegards

Sickening placemark.

No one can ever explain to me why diversity is a strength.

Taken to its logical conclusion, it would result in destruction.

June 26th. Isn’t that the day the Supreme Court will announce its ruling on homosexual ‘marriage’?

Maybe the Pentagon will include a lecture on avoiding anal tears,communicable diseases and VDs during unnatural and abominable sexual acts.

Wonder which America resembles more, Sodom or Gommorah?
