Canadian Armed Forces March in Toronto Pride Festival - Please Ask, Please Tell


File this one under news from the land of the freer than we are. This year's Toronto Gay Pride Festival featured a Canadian Armed Forces recruitment booth.

Gay members of the military represented the Canadian Armed Forces in the Toronto Pride Parade by marching in uniform:

"The message to the public is that the Canadian Forces is an employer of choice. We have employment opportunities that people can pursue, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation."

Or as they term it at Gawker, in Canada, they say:
Please: Ask! Tell!

The Toronto Pride Parade saw a million spectators.
