CAMP PENDLETON, CA - San Francisco-based Semper Pink, the premier advocacy organization for gay infantry Marines, is once again rallying its supporters after an incident that took place in Camp Pendleton's 62 area, and what some insiders are calling one of the most controversial cases involving an openly-gay Marine since the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
The organization has recently come to the defense of PFC Stefan Noor, 19, of Third Battalion, Fifth Marine Regiment.
“I can’t believe they fucked me raw like that,” says PFC Noor. “All I’ve heard from day one is how Marines never leave another Marine behind, yet everyone in my platoon decided to blue-falcon me on this one.”
