LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY: Servicemembers United responds to Sen. Inhofe about Pride Parade

Sean Sala - United Leadership Council member
July 25th, 2012

Members of Congress who believe that servicemembers' participation in an LGBT pride parade is equivalent to attending or speaking at a political or campaign rally in uniform have simply failed to do their research and apply common sense.

Senator Inhofe and his like-minded colleagues should spend some time actually meeting and talking with some of these gay troops and veterans instead of using their platform to try to bully the Pentagon into moving backwards.

SAN DIEGO – The 2012 San Diego LGBT Pride weekend will go down in history … for making history.

1. The first time American troops have been allowed to march in their military uniforms at a gay parade, a momentous step toward full equality and another milestone set after the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

2. The first time a gay sailor has proposed marriage to his boyfriend in the middle of the Pride Parade, temporarily halting the procession as fellow service members stopped to embrace the joyous occasion.
