Less than a year after the official repeal of the military policy known as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the Pentagon is planning its first-ever event honoring gay and lesbian troops this month, the Associated Press reports:
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.
