Gay Pride? And the Army/MoD allows its personnel to appear in uniform? If I were to organise a xxxxing pride march for the hetrosexual public, would members of the armed forces be allowed to attend? In uniform? The MoD would have had something to say if a soldier had paraded in uniform with the Countryside Alliance , with the BNP, the Poll Tax demonstrations, the Kop End at Anfield or at the Notting Hill Carnival. The point of my minor rant is I believe the Armed Forces to be a non-political, neutral part of the government elect. This has political correctness written all over it. If a serviceman/woman/convertee wishes to declare his/her/either beliefs/orientations etc, crack on lofty but NOT in Her Majesty's uniform that despite recent knockings, I am still proud to wear. When the occasion is appropriate.
