Eager to find new recruits, the British army said it will take part in a gay pride festival this weekend, with 10 soldiers marching in uniform in Manchester.
The army said it will staff a recruitment table at the Manchester Pride Festival, billed as one of Britain’s biggest gay pride events, and will march in uniform in the parade today with a mix of gay men, lesbians, transvestites and transsexuals.
“I think it’s great the army is coming,” said festival director Claire Turner.
“They’re showing that they welcome gay people and the army is something gay people can be interested in.”
Lt.-Col. Leanda Pitt, who commands recruiting efforts for the army in and around Manchester, said the parade was an opportunity to try to find new personnel.
