Troops to March in San Diego Gay Pride Parade

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A former Navy operations specialist is organizing what is believed to be the first military contingent of hundreds of active-duty troops and veterans to lead a gay pride parade Saturday, a day after an appeals court temporarily reinstated a policy against openly gay people serving in the military.

Sean Sala, who finished his service last month, is heading up the participation of the national Servicemembers Legal Defense Network — representing gay and lesbian active-duty military personnel — in the parade.

The group said they told Sala they are warning members that it is still a risk to come out as long as “don’t ask, don’t tell” is on the books.

“We communicated to him that anyone who participates is assuming a certain level of risk,” spokesman Zeke Stokes said. “We are looking forward to a time when LGBT service members can participate in these kinds of actions without any risk.”

Sala said it’s time for the gay and lesbian community to stop hiding in fear.

“This is not in any way a violation of military policy and it’s time for the country to move on — plain and simple,” he said.

Cpl. Jaime Rincon, 21, a Camp Pendleton Marine who plans to participate, said he is grateful Sala gave him the opportunity to march as a military member.

“Finally someone is stepping up to the plate, someone has said: ‘We’re done hiding. Let’s do something about this. Let‘s show everybody we’re proud of who we are and we’re proud of our branches of service,’” he said.

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, in a July 6 ruling, ordered a halt to enforcing the 17-year ban. But late Friday the court temporarily reinstated it, while prohibiting any investigation, penalties or discharges under the rule.

Marine Corps officials said service members who are not in uniform are within their rights to participate in a gay pride parade.

But Stokes said going public now could be used against military personnel later if the military starts enforcing the policy again. The Department of Justice filed an emergency motion Thursday asking the court to reconsider its order, saying ending the ban now would pre-empt the “orderly process” for rolling back the 17-year-old policy as outlined in the law passed and signed by the president in December. Pentagon officials have said they expect the ban to be officially lifted soon.

Sala said the parade group will be made up of gay and heterosexual service members in a show of unity.

The troops and veterans will wear T-shirts showing their branch of service. They will walk with two horses — one draped in an American flag and the other with the rainbow-colored Pride flag — to honor service members and those who have died for equality, Sala said.

Some will accompany a half-ton military vehicle as audio equipment belts out “Taps” and military fight songs to the expected crowd of thousands. They also will hold a 30-foot American flag and a banner with the military crest on it.

Gay Pride marches nationwide have been focusing on the repeal of the military’s ban but this will be the first with active-duty troops participating as an identifiable group, gay rights activists say.

    Being a veteran myself, you would think that other veterans and especially active duty military members would follow the law. This reminds me of a spoiled child trying to get his way by disobeying his parents. Whine until you get your way is the motto of this group as they constantly force others to accept their sexual deviance.

    However, on the bright side, it is wonderful they can’t produce any offspring. So, although they can force tolerance on some, they can’t force the Creator to change His wonderful plan of a family!

      You knew as soon as the “gays” got their way that the military would be dishonoured. Any uniformed member that participates should be arrested and placed in the brige, dishonorable discharge, and finish their term in Levanworth.

      Not sure HOW it could be used against them…

      Many straight politicians catch flack for ‘marching’ in those parades.

      I’d venture to say there are lots of regular people that march to show their support for the gays, like parents and friends, and activist groups, etc.

      So, just being in those parades doesn’t look like proof to me.

      Homekeeper is 100% correct. How can you trust any member of the US military that is not willing to follow the laws of the country they serve. As an Air Force vet you need people you can trust and depend on…team players…duty, honor, country. These marchers are self-centered all-about-me people who care only for their cause. They are a disgrace to the uniform and should be charged under the UCMJ and discharged.

      They can reproduce. Think Gabies. Gays can impregnate lesbians. Lesbians can use artificial insemination. They can use cloning technology and an egg can be implanted on the intestinal wall of a gay guy. It is easier for the lesbians than the gays, but they all talk about it.
      I don’t know how committed they are to procreation. I don’t know how much is us versus them attitude. Imagine two guys with a baby and one guy get something on the side and catches something and can’t contribute.
      Why talk about a prophylactic aids pill which is 44% effective? They want to throw the condoms away. Just go to their sites and read the posts. And then what? Catch the new drug resistant gonorrhea?

For this post I’m going to assume that person is correct and it does make sense if you think about it. Months at Sea in very tight quarters would explain some of that.

      Participating in a Gay Pride parade does not mean that you, yourself, are a homosexual. It simply means you’re marching to support gay rights. I do not see a problem with this.

      Now if these soldiers engage in homosexual activity during their participation in this parade, then any legal/professional reprucussions they may face is of no other’s fault than their own.

No messing around there and no friggin school or movie or tv show or gay parade is going to mess that up.

      @ walkwithme1966… “I think it is rather cool.

      Excerpts from the Communist Goals (1963) read on the floor of the House of Representatives.
      CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
      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.
      26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

      Pretty cool??? You should read the Communist Goals in its entirety @ http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm It is almost the very same thing as the democrat platform and most all of the goals have been acomlished, thus the situation we find ourselves in today.

    I am afraid that in this case I must ask for the dishonorable discharge of these Marines. Not because their gay but because they have violated the impartiality rules of the military. If they so wish to take part in the parade they must remove their uniforms any rank, military branch insignia identification and not disclose them selves specifically by the armed forces. Current Military personnel are and should be required to maintain impartiality to all political, public and ideological issues while identifying themselves as military. Regardless of personal feelings they are required to defend and uphold all americans points of view and not take sides. This is why I backed the firing of Gen Mccrystal when he publicly criticized President Obama. The military must remain neutral in domestic disputes and political issues. Gen Mc Crystal and these gay marines have the right to speak out if they wish but be aware of the consequences that you have removed your trust and unbias for a public opinion and that is not acceptable for current military standing. They must resign and leave, for now they are showing bias towards a specific political agenda. I have no problems with gays serving in the military other than some reverse discrimination issues that are promoted by pro homosexual advocates and common decency and individual privacy rights. You want people to keep their opinions to them selves then keep your sexual orientation to yourself.

      Gays can serve just don’t let any one know you are gay! While I was in the Navy I did not feel the need to announce how heterosexual I am! I also do not grab my wife in private places out in public.
      I don’t even kiss her in public because that behavior is special and only for us not for the world to see.
      Why can’t gays act as modest as the rest of us? Why do they have to do private behavior in public?
      If they kept this kind of thing were it belongs NO ONE would have an issue with it.
      This life style is a choice. If you choose to live this way then don’t get mad at the rest of us for making choices that do not make our lives harder.
      One of the arguments is that it is hard to find a “partner” if you keep this in the “closet”. The answer is simple. Make different choices! Choose not to live in sin! Is this an easy choice? Probably not. But it is the right one.
      Stop being angry that the rest of us made the choices we did. I f you want to live this way God says you can but it will bring you death if you do. God is not at fault for the choices YOU make and neither are we.

      Your repeated posts here shows your own bigotry against a religious group of people that try to exercise morality, dignity, and follow the laws of our Saviour.

It sounds like you are not as tolerant as you demand we must be.

      Most of us here dont care what you do behind closed doors but if you are going to openly and in public display, show your a moral degenerate, commit indecent exposure, and act in appropriate ways, we do have a problem. These parades are repugneant. Just Google gay pride parades, images, and attempt to defend it. America is free but there is a sense of morality that one needs to display in public.

      To openly and willingly attempt to associate our military, a moral institution, with this degeneracy is wrong. So is your bigotry and intolerance.

    I just hope & pray this will be a peaceful march with no violence, physical or verbal from either side.

    As for the military marchers – I believe it is allowed under military code & law that they may participate as long as they are NOT in uniform. I’m not sure if the T-shirts they plan on wearing showing military branches insignia etc qualify as “uniform” or not?

      Prior to the repeal of DADT, any gay service man was legally bound to lie about his sexuallity. Where is the honor in demanding a person lie? Prior to the repeal the partners of such service man were denied the same rights as wives of straight service men, this included not being inform if the service man was killed or injuried and not being able to be at the service man’s bed side in a military hospital.

      It is only the bigoted Christians that are blind to the positive progress the repeal is.

      Military members aren’t just trying to stand out and “identify.” DADT results in blackmail, fear, constant lying, ect. Gays are already in the military, and they don’t want to make out with dudes during basic training, they just don’t want to have to live in the fear that someone will rat them out for being seen with their significant other off base.

      And jesus…if I read one more person mention gay “recruitment,” I’m going to freak out. THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS GAY RECRUITMENT!!!!! Being gay growing up is a nightmare of social anxiety, no one “chooses it” or gets recruited. Seriously…do you think you or anyone you know could’ve been talked into being gay? When did you “choose” to be strait? It’s absurd. Either your born gay, or you’re not. Stop worrying about it.

    What’s the real fear on the part of DADT proponents in its repeal?

    The sight of an entire battalion of marines in full battle dress shouting, “Who did you call a fa***t?”

      The fear is the destruction of you military. read my above reply. Gays in the military have caused confusion not cohesion this is just destructive.

      Bigotry, not homosexuality causes confusion and lack of cohesion.

      Finding your lifestyle un-natural and repugnant is not bigotry. It is against social norm in every religion and every moral society. It is against natural law and Gods law. Most of us here learned from the lessons of Sodom and Gomorrah. What you do is your business but dont demand that we MUST accept it. We can be friends. Just dont wave it around in my face. I dont wave my sexuality in yours. Having been in the military, and seeing flambouant gays there, it is very disruptive. Associating our military with the repugnant gay pride parades in wrong. Just wrong.

    Marine Corps officials said service members who are not in uniform are within their rights to participate in a gay pride parade.

    But if you disgrace the Uniform, the Flag you will be delt with.

    GOD did NOT make GAY ROSTERS!

    The word pride and being gay has no relationship. Pride comes from accomplishment not who you have sex with.

      Well they’ve got to justify that obsession. If they can convince themselves they are proud of what they do, then they can convince themselves not to feel guilty about it regardless of the conviction that niggles at them daily.

      Romans 1:26 – God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
      If you don’t repent, God says have at it, see you in the afterlife. That’s why there is no shame.

      Because there‘s a huge stigma against gays as if they’re lesser people than the majority. It’s really about the majority having more rights than the minority. Gays are a minority and are treated with disrespect and hate because they happen to be attracted to the same sex. Pride is about coming out and being proud of who you are despite this stigma. Kids have committed suicide because of who they are.

      A friend of mine once asked “why can’t I like who (meaning a **** sapien) I wanna like?” That‘s what it’s about not your hateful Bible that says everyone goes to hell or your hateful Koran that says the SAME thing.

      I think it’s really about not being educated nor tolerant of those different than you; hence, it’s about the majority having more rights than the minority.

      What’s wrong with the color pink? I think your assumption that g.a.y soldiers are weak because they’re g.a.y is not only offensive but ignorant. I will bet everything I have that they can kick your butt.

    Father God, please strike all these people with common sense, help them to realize that life does not center around the use of their private areas, help them to realize that anything outside of Your plan for creation is a selfish, self servicing waste of time. Keep them away from children, keep the children safe away from their influence. Amen.

      Guys I do agree this behavior is sinful but do not pray that God “bless them with a brick” asking for his wrath and anger. No instead remember Jesus died to save them you and I FROM our sin. I pray that our Lord show up in their lives POWERFULLY and strong to rescue them from the road of death they are happily marching toward. If we respond to this with an iron cross and shout “YOU ARE GOING TO HELL” or “GOD HATES ****” will we reach them with the love of God?
      Yes we should call sin what it is … sin. We need to let the masses know that God did not make hell for people but for the devil and his angles. If we CHOOSE to follow the devil and not Jesus then we go were the devil leads HELL!
      That is the message we have to bring to this sinful world.
      Remember who you are representing O’Man of God!

      We need to stay strong in our own Faith and not get drawn into the this untenable battle.

      Actually I have found them to be mostly good,honest and God fearing.
      Most of the people here do love God and the people He died for.
      Are there a few nuts on this site? lol are people,… people?
      It is never a bad thing to remind the Christian who he /she serves and why we are here.
      I have come to love the people on this site and I am glad they are here.

      I replied once already but I don’t think it got posted so I will do it again.
      I actually have found these people to be for the most part God fearing good hearted people.
      It is never a bad thing to remind the Christian who he/she serves and how we are to respond to sin.
      you watch most of the blazers do love God and know why and for whom He died.
      You are dead wrong in your assessment of these people. They are not violent (though you will find nuts every were you look but they are the minority) hateful people. They just love their country and are angry at what our “leaders” have done with it.
      I can tell by your post were you stand and what you believe and all I will say is WE are praying for you to wake up! :)

      @MARGARET1977 ~~~ Apparently, neither does GOD since HE says that is an abomination to HIM, and these people choose to follow satan rather than to obey GOD. We’ve made everything “ok” by coming up with something “sweet” like “love the sinner/hate the sin”. If I’m wrong, correct me, but at Sodom and Gomorrah it wasn’t the sin that was destroyed, it was the sinners.

      Just a thought….. after reading years of excuses for our ungodly like life styles and preferences. It just doesn’t wash, folks.
