Considering they held an event when DADT was repealed by the Pentagon celebrating this glorious moment in US history. What justifies the waste of this money? During a time when this country is in fiscal crisis?

Now there's true denial in all of its glory .
Nobody is forcing you to do anything .
But what sort of person would be so mean as not to given token acknowledgement to people who were treated as outcasts by the ignorant for so long ?
You may feel as though you are being asked to pander . We feel it is an invitation to thank , appreciate and applaud .

This cost factor is a bit corny , as we say ( imo ) . Unpaid debt plus obligations at about $140 trillion and you stamp your feet in anger at celebrating something with people who suffered abuse and cruelty for generations .
Change LGBT and insert , abused children , or , heroic pets , and there would not be a dry face anywhere .Money no object .

Thats just it.....the usual argument about all those little things that constantly add up. How does this excuse play out when it is every little thing that they can spend money for and waste. Again.....take notice the Pentagon had an event which they celebrated and got media coverage over. Seems there is all this waste and spending. Well spending more doesnt get one out of a fiscal crisis. What do we only look at the big things when it comes to spending? Spending is spending. Tiny Small Large. When like all say and one is about to fall off into that abyss, does one begin to take any steps even starting with all the Small things first. While working their way up to the bigger picture of things.

You are shameful .
Defending the indefensible .
One pair of Stealth fighter wings and we could have two or three parties .
But have it your way .
Bit like the Red Indians ( non PC ) --- piss all over them .Say sorry . But keep your hands in your pocket .
Whats there to defend.....they had a celebration. Now they have another. Then next year another. Then it will become every year. Guess that is acceptable to those that look for reasons to waste money. Do you think they could hold some sort of Event like with Veterans Day and Memorial Day when they spend that money for those events and when they are giving tribute to Veterans? Wherein they have already appropriated funds for such Celebrations.
Yeah.....and all the money that we put in to having Embassies, which run NFP's in overseas Countries could Fund Social Security.
Why should I say Sorry, I am not against those who call themselves Gay. I have never gone after anyone who is Gay, just for being Gay. Nor do I care what gays do with each other. They are human beings right? Homo-Sapiens, correct?
Shameful.....yeah for a lot of other things done in my life. But for this not even close!

Ever been to one?
I live in the European Gay capital ( excluding London ) . The Pride weekend with a minimum of 250,000 crowds is fantastic -- crazy , creative , colourful and sometimes a bit tasteless .
So what ?
We draw the line at lewd acts but then perhaps we have a better class of Gay over here
