Oh well, no surprise that the pink wing of NuLabour should be getting MoD payback for its part in assisting against the fight for real equality, so as to promote and maintain a ghetto.
The RAF will now have to sign up to place pointless recruitment advertisements in the ghetto 'gay press', a press largely ignored by a great majority of gay people in the country, and targetted at a section of the 'gay community' who are highly unlikely to be considering a military career.
Those of us who actually engaged in the fight for equality are as horrified by this kind of patronising bolleaux as many of our straight brothers in arms. Strangely, we all managed to find our way to the recruiting office and many of us managed to serve rather well until we were booted out. We campaigned against the type of special treatment we received then; ideally wanting just to be left to get on with our jobs. We certainly did not campaign for one type of special treatment to be replaced by another.
Stonewall will offer RAF personnel the chance to attend its intensive two-day professional development training exercise for "rising- lesbian and gay professionals in the workplace"
The mind boggles!
Anyway - another corker from ARRSE:
