OUTVETS Decision Applauded by Veterans For Peace
Submitted by Pat Scanlon on Wed, 12/17/2014 - 9:27amVeterans For Peace applauds the decision by the Allied War Veterans Council to allow OUTVETS, a fledging new LGBT veterans group, to walk in the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade.
The LGBT community has been denied participation in the traditional Saint Patrick’s Day Parade for over twenty years. This certainly signals a step in the right direction.
