Military gay person
This is not a popular opinion, but I own it.
I think gays should be in the military. If they choose the lifestyle, and can otherwise meet mental and physical requirements, they should be welcomed.
For those who cannot or will not comport themselves appropriately, there exists the Manual of Courts Martial which can address those individuals.
My core belief is that having them inside the tent, makes it one more person who can bleed instead of me. Subsequently, if they can bleed, then they should be given that opportunity. As one with 2 PH, I would gladly give it to a gay who was doing what I was doing. I do not see anything different from any other ethnic soldier. Like I said earlier there is always the Manual for Courts Martial.
We don't have to like the behavior. We don't have to socialize with them. However, if they meet the needs of the military and can separate their lifestyle within the accepted norm of the military, they should be accepted as equals whether soldier, sailor, marine or airman.
