National Guard Not Welcome This Time At San Francisco LGBT Pride Weekend; Chelsea Manning Is

Organizers of San Francisco’s pride weekend festivities have yanked the welcome mat away from the National Guard, voting to ban the Guard from setting up a booth at the festival.

The decision comes at the same time Pride organizers are allowing a controversial Army private who leaked military secrets to be honorary grand marshal.

The board of the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration Committee rejected a request from the Guard to set up an informational booth at Civic Center Plaza during Pride Weekend.

Last year, the National Guard had a booth at Pride Weekend for the first time – staffed by gay soldiers – following the repeal of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. The Guard was also welcomed at Pride events in Los Angeles and San Diego.

    So, if you were sentenced to 8 years last year, how do you get to be a Grand Marshal in a parade this year?

    Oh!! but the Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC in 2013 was not filled with queen pride.

    What is supposed to be a parade for children ended up being a gay pride parade. Again proving that the goal is to shove it down one's throat.

    They are filled with tolerance so long as it is their life style.
