Gay Pride
Messieurs,
Upon further discussion, the CDS has approved the flying of the internationally recognized Gay Pride Flag in all CAF establishments, including HMC Ships. This is dependent on the local Commanders if they desire to fly it. No official flag or ensign shall be struck or displaced from its appropriate place within the authorized precedence for this flag. Example, no National flag will be taken down to fly subject flag. It can fly in appropriate precedence on a yard arm. It can also be flown on a separate mast/pole, again respecting the authorized precedence. Please advise your command through your respect directives. Cheers, Kevin West CFCWO/Adjuc FC |

I am not a homophobe, but the world has gone crazy. In my opinion this is taking political correctness too far...

The armed forces have always contained high levels of homosexuals. All that is new is that the forces are being more open about it.

As society becomes more accepting of homosexuality the more open they will become. Lets face it, there have been large numbers of gay soldiers and sailors all the way back to the Greeks, and beyond. Think of all the well known generals etc who were, it is now claimed, gay. Personally, as long as they leave me alone I don't really care what other people do.

As society becomes more accepting of homosexuality then the more I ask myself WHY?
We are exposed to it on TV, kids are taught about it in sex education in school. We are bombarded with Gay Pride events, civil partnership and gay marriage Marriage has always been a union of man and woman, or at least it was up until recently. When a local bakery in Belfast refused to bake a cake promoting gay marriage the christian owners finished up in court. It is wrong that the views of any minority is forced upon the majority in the name of PC. Eddie |

I agree with you on the last bit of your post but what is there to be proud of? I'm not proud of being heterosexual and don't make a big thing about it the world has gone mad with PC , has anyone asked blokes who do object if they're happy to share their billets with gays? As for all the senior officers who were alleged to be gay , the operative word is alleged.

I am sure that serving soldiers have their views, but I would imagine that they are more worried about sharing sleeping bags and fox holes than sharing billets. The point is that society changes. I doubt that many of todays soldiers would accept the terms that WW1 soldiers accepted. Todays soldiers will have to work it out for themselves. As for the senior officers, the law of averages says that some were/are gay even when it is hushed up.

Many people today would probably regard the born again Christian bakers as a complete pain. As I said in another post I don't care what other adults do, as long as they leave me alone. This includes bible bashers, as well as Gays.

All this is a bit Orwellian with some animals being more equal than others - in this case it is Homosexual ( I hate the word gay) people who appear to be the ones that we have to fawn over and ensure that their feelings aren't hurt by allowing them silly things like same sex marriage etc , I'm totally with Eddie on this one

Why couldn't the bakers say they had too many orders? Why couldn't the homosexuals take their business elsewhere? Two little cliques getting a kick out of the publicity and the only ones to benefit are the lawyers.

Are you suggesting that a Christian bakery should tell deliberate lies or should they be true to their beliefs and refuse, what they considered to be, an appropriate order? Incidentally their sales have increased greatly since the court case as many ordinary people, not Bible Bashers, show their support. As you say, 'Why couldn't the homosexuals take their business elsewhere?' Why indeed if their intention was other than to simply annoy decent people. Eddie |
