If gays are so pro-military, then why are they preventing the National Guard from setting up a booth at their parade?

If a person is confused as to what gender they are, then they have absolutely no business in the military.

If they can't grasp fundamentals, how can they function in a direct combat or combat support situation?

transgender people are not confused. besides a persons sexual identity has nothing to do with being able to follow orders or be a good soldier.

Of course they are.

A person is either male or female.

If a male thinks that they are female, or vice versa, then they are confused.

There are professionals who can help them.

National Guard Not Welcome This Time At San Francisco LGBT Pride Weekend; Chelsea Manning Is « CBS San Francisco

This news has been all over the Bay Area. This pro gay stuff is going too far! Now gay activists are attacking our troops?! When will the Fascism end?! I thought the gay rights movement was all about tolerance? Guess not. Our military Men and Women fight and die so you can have the freedom to be gay and have your disgusting parades, and this is how you treat them? That's a slap in the face to our troops everywhere!

And they welcome Chelsea Manning? A sexually confused transgender soldier who stole classified documents and released them to the enemy? They support that traitor?

What is our society coming to?
Hedonism. With degeneracy thrown in.

Why can't they just keep their damn clothes on? I don't want to see it. Though I'll be honest, some of the lesbian naked women are pretty good looking (not the ugly butch types) but still show some public decency!
Thanks for admitting that you exaggerated cuz I was wondering if we were talking about the same parade! Anyway, it sounds like you just don't like crowds and partial/full nudity. I personally can't stand crowds so I tend to avoid places where it will get too crowded for me.

I don't know what kind of "scary" things you see??? Some people dress up pretty extravagantly. You may not ,nor would I, but I don't have any issues with dressing up. Anyway, there is just so much happiness in the air. I don't know how you can see dark clouds when everyone around you is smiling. Can you take the day off of work?

Not wrong.
Transgendered individuals are still banned from joining the U.S. military.

Hagel open to review of military's transgender ban

Specific to the OP: their parade, their rules.
