This week, here in San Diego, is PRIDE week. Just like the past few years, our church, Missiongathering Christian Church, has put up a billboard in an effort to communicate God’s love for ALL.

I was talking with one friend yesterday who was bringing me up to speed on how, for the first time in SD history, servicemembers will be marching in uniform in the Saturday PRIDE Parade. (This effort has been led by another friend of mine, Sean Sala. Attaboy Sean!) What a fantastic moment that will be!

SAN DIEGO – Active-duty servicemembers have received official approval to march in their uniforms on July 21 as part of America’s Pride Parade military contingent, San Diego Pride officials said today.

Veterans can wear their uniforms in parades and now their active-duty brothers and sisters will be able to march in uniform alongside them with Pride, now that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) has been repealed.
