Gay troops PAID to go on pride march

Quote:
HOMOSEXUAL soldiers are to be paid travelling expenses so they can take part in Gay Pride marches – in uniform.

They have been told to apply for rail travel warrants or claim their car mileage for marches in London this Saturday and in Brighton next month.

Straight troops hit out at the move last night because they do not get the same privilege – even when they are going to see the REAL Queen.

A furious squaddie said: “A mate is off to London in his uniform to the Queen’s Garden Party but he will not be getting mileage to go. Fair, equal or what?”
