| Subject: LOL: Pentagon thanks gay troops, plans 1st pride event Sat Jun 16, 2012 5:50 am | |
| Defense Secretary Leon Panetta thanked gay and lesbian military members Friday for their service, as the Pentagon prepares to mark June as Gay Pride Month with an official salute.
In a remarkable sign of a cultural change in the U.S. military, Panetta said that with the repeal last year of the "don't ask, don't tell" law, which prohibited gays from serving openly in the military, gays and lesbians can now be proud to be in uniform.
Panetta's video message was part of a Pentagon salute to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender troops as the Pentagon joined the rest of the U.S. government for the first time in marking June as Gay Pride Month.
