Royal Naval gay pride

For the first time the Royal Navy has allowed gay sailors to march in a gay pride parade in uniform. This follows last years decision to activly recruit gay sailors. Note the contrast with the American "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. I'm not sure what the exact situation is in Canada but I don't believe there are any restictions on gays in the Canadian Forces.

A related article in the Telegraph has some more background.
