This summer, the Pentagon will salute them, marking gay
pride month just as it marks other celebrations honoring racial or
ethnic groups.
Officials said Thursday that
they're planning the first-ever event to recognize gay and lesbian
troops.
They declined to give details about what the event will be, but
officials said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta feels it's important to
recognize the service of gays in the armed forces.
