Apparently, winning the repeal of the Clinton era Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy towards gays is more important than winning any war against terror, at least in San Diego this weekend. From the Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Dozens of soldiers, sailors, and Marines marched alongside an old Army truck decorated with a “Freedom to Serve” banner and a rainbow flag. They were joined by dozens more military personnel in civilian clothes, but the uniforms stood out among the flower-bedecked floats and scantily clad revelers.<\/p>\n

Spectators waved signs reading, “Thank you for your service.” A woman held a placard that said: “My gay son is a Naval officer.”<\/p>\n

“Today is so important,” said Navy Lt. Brian McKinney, who marched with his civilian partner, Hunter Hammonds. “It’s about putting on my uniform and taking pride in my service, my fellow service-members, my family and myself. It’s something I’m incredibly thankful for.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
