A Weekend of Pride
On Saturday, June 20, the clouds were still hanging pretty low overhead just a couple of hours before the Baltimore Pride Parade up Charles Street. Earlier in the morning a deluge swept through the area that concerned potential pride-goers and organizers alike. It conjured up the lyrics to the iconic Funny Girl song, "Don’t Rain on My Parade."
WASHINGTON—Several hundred enthusiastic military veterans and supporters, marched on the White House on Saturday, June 27 to protest the discriminatory "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell" (DADT) policy. President Obama and Congress were targeted in the demonstration for not acting to repeal the policy that has led to 13,000 individuals discharged from the Armed Forces since 1993 when the policy went into effect. Many Arabic linguists and other high-skill service members—critical to the war on terrorism and national security—were discharged as a result of the policy.
