Royal Navy launches bid to recruit gays
Posted by admin / Under Porthole TV
LONDON -- Britain's Royal Navy yesterday announced a campaign to recruit gays and lesbians. The navy said it asked Stonewall, a gay rights lobbying group, to help develop the campaign, which could include ads in the gay press. Britain lifted its ban on homosexuals serving in the military in 2000 after a European court ruled that their exclusion was unlawful.

A law passed last year gives same sex-couples the right to form legally binding partnerships and share pensions. (Reuters)
