-- HAMILTON -- Hamilton's gay pride festival says it banned the Canadian military this year over alleged human rights violations around the world.Uh, guys... wouldn't this sorta be like banning African immigrants... because you're afraid of Robert Mugabe?
Festival organizers say they banned the military this year because they received a complaint from a new Canadian who feared the military because of previous persecution by soldiers.
Just askin'.
