The Royal Navy signalled today that it might, for the first time, allow uniformed officers to attend a gay pride event.
The second sea lord, Vice Admiral Adrian Johns, is expected to say in a speech at a gay rights conference later today that a "significant number" of lesbian and gay sailors are "very keen" to march in uniform at EuroPride in London.
