Tolerance Spreads to British Army

Great Britain

Following in the footsteps of the Royal Navy, the British Army and the Royal Air Force have officially condoned the wearing of uniforms at this year's gay pride parade in London.

While homosexual men and women have been permitted to serve openly in the British military since 2000, in recent years not all branches have been allowed to demonstrate their military affiliation at gay pride events.

The gay community responded positively to the reversal of this policy.
