Military parades for homosexuals?

“WASHINGTON (AP) — Last summer, gays in the military dared not acknowledge their sexual orientation. This summer, the Pentagon will salute them, marking June as gay pride month just as it has marked other celebrations honoring racial or ethnic groups.
…
“Details are still being worked out, but officials say Defense Secretary Leon Panetta wants to honor the contributions of gay service members.
"’Now that we've repealed 'don't ask, don't tell,' he feels it's important to find a way this month to recognize the service and professionalism of gay and lesbian troops,’ said Navy Capt. John Kirby, a spokesman.”

(1). Why?

(2.) If the military truly wants “to find a way … to recognize the service and professionalism of gay and lesbian troops,” then the Pentagon should, without hesitation, begin an investigation of heroic deeds performed by soldiers in all wars, engagements and actions from the Civil War until today, determine which DSC and MOH awards were given to personnel who might have been homosexual, and then upgrade applicable DSC awards to MOH and further recognize possible homosexuals awarded the MOH. This would be in keeping with “other celebrations honoring racial or ethnic groups,” since being homosexual is the same as being black, Hispanic, Asian-American, or a woman, those minorities* having special months set aside for recognition of their contributions to the American Way of Life.
