So heterosexual servicemembers should be forced to live with, dress and disrobe in front of, and shower with openly homosexual individuals?
Yes, because gay or straight, you're all in the fucking military, you're all professionals, and trust me -- they're not checking you out.
How is that different from forcing heterosexual men and women to live in the same room, dress and undress in the same room, and shower in the same open bay showers?
As a woman, I really wouldn't have a problem with that -- promoting comfort in one's own body, and presenting coed nudity as normal would actually reduce sexual assaults. But your stupid Puritan "morals" keep us all hung up on that shit, instead.
Homosexuality is the product of a genetic defect or mental illness.
Genetic quirk? Maybe. Mental illness? Notsomuch.
The fact that homosexuals cannot procreate within their sexual identity makes it self-evident that it is not viable as a "lifestyle."
No, they're just the aunt or uncle who could, if the parents died, take the child in and provide for it. Or start a college fund for the kid. It's an evolutionary advantage.
It is a non-self-sustaining deviation.
Actually, the rate of homosexuality is fairly constant, about 10%, in any given population. Even in the animal kingdom.
As far as the individual who stated he would leave the service if "gays" are allowed to openly serve, I urge him to reconsider.
Yes, do reconsider -- you might find out that the world keeps on turning, and everything goes on as before, only people aren't fired for being LGBTQ. Christ, it isn't gonna degrade into a huge, gay orgy, or anything. (Though I get the feeling you'd LOVE it if that happened, all those hot, sweaty men licking and sucking and doing thoroughly indecent things with each other....)
I would advocate him joining what will undoubtedly be a very large sub-culture in the military (comprising both officers and enlisted) that will devote itself to thoroughly intimidating "open servers" to the point that they want nothing more than to permanently walk out the front gate and not look back.
You're a douchebag.
The line has to be drawn somewhere.
Oh, I agree, and it's drawn at DISCRIMINATION IS FUCKING WRONG. And the military should fucking ENFORCE NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY -- any soldier found conspiring to drive out LGBTQ servicemembers ought to be dishonorably discharged.
The first time a couple of "open servers" walk into an NCO or Officers Club holding hands -- that club will become a "gay" bar.
Doesn't work that way.
Of course, you just write the names down of those who patronize the establishment. Then deal with them later.
Funny, that seems to be exactly the tactic of the homophobes in the military -- all you have to do is accuse someone of being gay, and their career is over.
