Although we didn't protest Eric Alva as this year's Pride Parade Grand Marshall, we confronted former Joint Chief's head, Marine Corps General Peter Pace when he appeared here about two years ago. We protested not only Pace's rank homophobia, but also US wars for empire.
I forget his name, but a young gay Navy guy was present as part of his being feted in Chicago by pro-military gays. When he realized that we were antiwar and not simply asking that gays be let in on the killing as the (gay patriots) Veterans for Equal Rights do, he declined to address the protester crowd.
