Pentagon gets gayer than ever<\/h1>\n

For 1st time, uniformed troops given green light to march in ‘pride’ parade<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>
2011 Sodomite Parade with Lesbians wearing NAVY tee shirts, kissing. This year they will be wearing full military uniforms with the Pentagon’s blessing. A few hours later after the Pentagon’s announcement, James Holmes goes on a berserk rampage mass killings at Batman Movie Premier. Think it is NOT related? Then, you don’t know your Bible. God’s Judgment is falling upon America!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Less than 24 hours after WND reported<\/a> at least one member of the U.S. Air Force had been authorized by commanding officers to march in a \u201cgay pride\u201d parade while wearing service-issued uniforms \u2013 upsetting a generations-old policy about how service members are allowed to display the image \u2013 the Department of Defense granted blanket permission for members of the armed forces to do the same.<\/p>\n

After WND contacted branches of the military and the Department of Defense to inquire about the authorization Wednesday, the DoD told said it made today\u2019s decision because the event was getting national attention<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In making its latest announcement, the DoD delivered its statement to LGBT Weekly\u2013 a San Diego publication for the \u201clesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, while the DoD\u00a0 statement expanded the authorization for Saturday\u2019s San Diego event, it appeared to pull back the reach of its permission for future homosexual parades, because the statement specified that it was for this event only.<\/p>\n

Just one day earlier, when WND contacted Air Force headquarters, Maj. Joel Harper said such decisions were allowed but were made at the local command level, and referred WND to Luke Air Force Base, in the chain of command for a single Air Force member who reported getting permission.<\/p>\n

There was no mention at the time that it was for the San Diego event only, which is clear in the latest evolution of the military\u2019s position.<\/p>\n

The DoD statement to LGBT Weekly quotes Rene Bardor, deputy assistant secretary of defense for community and public outreach.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our understanding that event organizers plan to have a portion of the parade that is dedicated to military members \u2026 we further understand organizers are encouraging service members to seek their commanders approval to march in uniform and to display their pride,\u201d the statement says. \u201cBased on our current knowledge of the event and current policies, we hereby are granting approval for service members in uniform to participate in this year\u2019s parade, provided service members 1) participate in their personal capacity, and 2) ensure the adherence to Military Service standards of appearance and wear of the uniform.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe permission is granted for the 2012 San Diego PRIDE Parade only.\u201d<\/p>\n

The issue developed when a senior recruiter in the Air Force told the San Diego Union Tribune that she had been given permission to march in uniform in Saturday\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

EDITOR\u2019S NOTE: At the request of one congressional member of the House Armed Services Committee, in early April WND sent to committee members, including Rep. Duncan Hunter, as well as staffers, 150 copies of the special Whistleblower issue, \u201cDROPPING THE \u2018H\u2019-BOMB: As Obama and Congress force open homosexuality on America\u2019s military, soldiers are fighting back.\u201d Get your copy of this power-packed Whistleblower issue that has been widely acclaimed by Medal of Honor recipients and other military heroes as the best single argument against repeal of \u201cDon\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell.\u201d<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The decision breaks down generations of tight limits on when and where a service member is allowed to appear in uniform, and appears to stray from the Department of Defense regulations<\/a> on the use of uniforms, dated 2005 and signed by Defense Undersecretary David S.C. Chu, which says using the U.S. military uniform is prohibited in a number of scenarios.<\/p>\n

Those include \u201cin connection with furthering political activities, private employment or commercial interests, when an inference of official sponsorship of the activity or interest may be drawn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using the uniform also is banned \u201cWhen wearing the uniform may tend to bring discredit upon the armed forces,\u201d and while former members are allowed to wear them for funerals, memorial services, weddings, and \u201cother parades \u2026 in which any active or reserve United States military unit is taking part,\u201d the regulations state, \u201cwearing of the uniform or any part thereof at any other time or for any other purpose is prohibited.\u201d<\/p>\n

Current Air Force rules<\/a> say members may appear in uniform \u201cat local community-wide civic-sponsored events only when the approving commander believes participating is appropriate and in good taste; the individuals volunteer for the assignment; there is no interference with military duties or operations; participation involves no additional cost to the government; and the event meets the basic participation criteria below.\u201d<\/p>\n

That section specifies that an event \u201cintended to, or which appears to endorse, selectively benefit, or favor any private individual, special interest group, business, religious, ideological movement, commercial venture, political candidate, or organization\u201d would be \u201cdisapproved.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Joanna Gasca, US Air Force senior recruiter, will march in sodomite pride parade in uniform<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yet Joanna Gasca, a reserve Air Force recruiter,<\/a> told the San Diego Union Times that she has been given permission by her chain of command to appear in uniform at Saturday\u2019s San Diego \u201cGay Pride Parade.\u201d<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman at Luke Air Force Base<\/a> in Arizona, where Gasca is assigned, confirmed to WND that the decision came from high up in the military\u2019s ranks.<\/p>\n

Meredith Mingledorff of the 944th Public Affairs Office said Gasca\u2019s commander told her the approval came from Lt. Col. Leslie Pratt of the Secretary of the Air Force\u2019s public affairs office.<\/p>\n

However, she also said Pratt had immediately retired and was not available to respond to questions about his decision. The Air Force did not respond to WND\u2019s requests to ask Pratt about his decision, or to obtain comment from his successor.<\/p>\n

But the chief of a public policy group that specializes in promoting the high standards and sound priorities in the making of military personnel policies, told WND the Pentagon is on \u201cthin ice\u201d by allowing the policy deviation, as it provides a special benefit to homosexuals not given to others in the military.<\/p>\n

Elaine Donnelly, of the Center for Military Readiness,<\/a> said the decision had to have come from the White House, as officers in public affairs units would not have such authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s coming from President Obama, and he doesn\u2019t seem to understand you don\u2019t have special interest pressure groups in the military,\u201d she told WND. \u201cGroups that set themselves apart to advocate a special interest agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cIn the military you don\u2019t get to express yourself in your personal way, with dress or behavior. There is a set of regulations, the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Many things that are legal for civilians are not legal in the military for a good reason. You have to wear a uniform. You don\u2019t get to choose how you\u2019re going to wear your hair.\u201d<\/p>\n

The goal, she said, is a unity of purpose that is necessary for successful military campaigns.<\/p>\n

The introduction then, of sexuality in the ranks, by the open display of homosexual behavior, \u201cdivides\u201d the ranks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s for the same reason for years \u201cfraternization\u201d has been forbidden in the military, as two people \u201cbonding\u201d can have a disruptive influence on the military goals and plans, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pentagon is on thin ice,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019re showing favoritism to LGBT activities in the military, and that is not helpful to the armed forces as a whole. This looks like a presidential response to a political faction. The LGBT left expects this.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said these issues have arisen now because when Congress overturned the longstanding \u201cDon\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell\u201d policy, under which homosexuals were allowed to serve as long as they didn\u2019t make a public issue of their lifestyle, the military failed to follow congressional requirements and submit rules and regulations for behavior.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gordon Klingenschmitt, formerly a Navy chaplain who runs the Pray In Jesus Name<\/a> organization and recently finished his doctoral studies, said the double-standard inevitably will cause problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a former Navy chaplain improperly punished for praying \u2018in Jesus\u2019 name\u2019 in my uniform (and later vindicated by Congress), I believe the homosexual activists, marching in uniform at the gay \u2018pride\u2019 parade, are openly violating military uniform regulations,\u201d he told WND.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy commander once told me that wearing the uniform at political events is prohibited UNLESS you are engaged in a sincere act of public worship. When I prayed in uniform, the judge ruled my prayer was not public worship, but instead I was worshiping in public, so I could be punished for wearing the uniform.<\/p>\n

\u201cI suspect the homosexuals will not march as an act of sincere public worship, but as a political statement. I also suspect they will not be punished as I was, by heavy-handed officials. There is a double-standard when Christians are punished, but homosexuals are not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just yesterday, DoD spokeswoman Eileen M. Lainez told WND military members are allowed to march or ride in \u201cnonpartisan\u201d<\/em> parades while wearing civilian clothing \u2013 but she made no specific mention of \u201cgay pride parades.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, she said members of the military may only wear uniforms in a parade when they have been given permission by the DoD \u2013 or are part of a ceremonial unit in an approved \u201ccommunity-relations\u201d event.<\/p>\n

\u201cExcept when authorized per DoD or service policies (such as a community-relations approved ceremonial unit), military members are restricted from wearing uniforms while participating in parades,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Lainez said the DoD advises military service members to obtain permission from their own unit commanders before marching in parades.<\/p>\n

The move appears to be the latest by Obama\u2019s administration to normalize homosexuality in the U.S. military, a campaign highlighted by Congress\u2019 decision to overturn the \u201cDon\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell\u201d policy and allow open homosexuality in the ranks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The military earlier declared June \u201cGay Pride Month\u201d and held events to mark the occasion. Military officials attribute the motivation behind the event to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta\u2019s desire to single out and honor homosexual military personnel for their service.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that we\u2019ve repealed \u2018Don\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell,\u2019 he feels it\u2019s important to find a way this month to recognize the service and professionalism of gay and lesbian troops,\u201d stated Capt. John Kirby, a Navy spokesman.<\/p>\n

The Thomas More Law Center<\/a> noted that the premise of normalized homosexual behavior not having a significant impact is fabricated.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo accomplish this political objective [of normalizing homosexual behavior in the military], Pentagon officials utilized rigged public opinion polls, leaks of false information and muzzling of combat commanders who opposed the repeal,\u201d the law center reported in a public statement.<\/p>\n

Donnelly noted there are other suggestions of trouble, too. She pointed to the CMR Policy Analysis called \u201cChilling Trend of Sexual Assault in the Military,\u201d which reports that \u201csexual assault in all branches of the services have increased by 22 percent since 2007.\u201d It also states that violent attacks and rapes in the Army have nearly doubled since 2006 to 1,313 last year, with 5 percent of the assaults on men. Furthermore, it reported that in \u201call branches of the service, male sexual assault victims have increased significantly, from 10 percent in 2010 to 14 percent in confidential reports.\u201d<\/p>\n

The trend continues, says Donnelly, who stresses that it can hardly be considered \u201csuccess.\u201d<\/p>\n

Concerned individuals may contact the Department of Defense<\/a> and the Air Force Reserve Command. <\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
