Huh?

 

There's got to be more to this than what I'm reading. I hope someone has some insight into this fanciful PR. What are they going to do, really? Share a pink cupcake?

 

Washington (CNN) -- The Department of Defense announced Thursday that it will be commemorating lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender pride later this month. The event will be the first of its kind for the Pentagon.

The best picks around the world for celebrating Pride

"The Defense Department is planning an LGBT Pride Month event for later this month," Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Laniez said in a statement issued Thursday.

Press Secretary George Little said senior Defense Department officials will take part in the event, but had no other details.

Just a year ago, a member of the military faced punishment or discharge if he or she admitted being homosexual, but last September the administration scrapped the policy known as "don't ask, don't tell."

Opinion: LGBT community more accepted than before, but work needs to be done.
