Sparring erupts over military personnel in San Diego gay parade

Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., and U.S. Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., criticized the Pentagon’s decision to let service members wear their uniforms while marching in the parade — the first time military personnel have been permitted to wear uniforms in a gay parade.
