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.

That is why don't ask/don't tell worked...who cared.
It is this freakin celebration of this lifestyle being forced on all to participate that pisses everyone off.

Exactly.
They're not interested in tolerance, they want approval.
It's gone from "the love that dare not speak its name" to "the love that won't shut up."

No, they want to push their deviant lifestyle choices in our faces and laugh that we now bow to the 1%.
I don't care if they screw goats, I don't really care what they do, I don't want to hear about it. I've never gone around and told people I was openly hetro...... not something normal folks think about.
I don't care if he's gay, I don't care if he likes it in the butt, I don't care if he likes to wear women's dresses and chase Shetland ponies, I don't care and you can keep it to yourself. If you can't keep it to yourself I'll be the first one to call you a nasty name and force you from my personal space by all means necessary.
