FOR THE first time in American history, troops and veterans openly participated in a gay pride parade on Saturday. About 200 service men and women from various branches of the military marched in the San Diego parade to cheering crowds. Even though “don’t ask, don’t tell” is still officially on the books, last year’s Congressional repeal of the policy which forbids openly homosexual soldiers from serving is expected to go into effect soon. Military contingents will now presumably be regular features of gay pride parades.
