Open Gays in military - how has it worked out?

[Extreme_One]

Wow. I feel like I've just stepped through a time machine and ended up in 1975.

OK so we didn't have the internet back then but it seems the ignorance of the time lives on.

Does the fact that sometimes gays work in offices alongside 'normal' heterosexual colleagues have any influence on company morale?

Do gays working in schools/ hospitals/ shops/ morgues/ police stations/sports centres/ etc. etc. have any bearing on the morale of their co-workers?
