Open Gays in military - how has it worked out?

[tk471138]

do they segregate the homosexual service members from the hetrosexual ones...the reason i ask this is putting men who are attracted to other men is like putting men who are attracted to women in the womens quarters....

having men who are attracted to men shower with other men is akin to me as a hetrosexual male showering with females...

sure if i was attracted to men, the best thing for me to do was to join the military where i would live with other men and shower with other men ect...


if yo uwere a woman would you tolerate a stranger who is attracted to women live with you and shower with you???

so why should men tolerate this from those who are attracted to men?

You would think this is logical and you would be right... However in todays modern world you'd be labelled a homophobic... This however is silly. As it means because you have applied logic and reason that you are in fact afraid of Homosexuals... Its a brave new socialist world we live in.

Maybe I should rephrase

Are there MORALE issues between straight and gay in military that seem beyond solution in your countrys' military?



Examples of MORALE

1. The team is playing well and their morale is high.
2. The President's speech boosted the morale of the troops.

From your experience..or what you have learned from experienced persons.

From your experience or what you know about Open Gays in military, would you volunteer for military under present world conditions. That is, if you were young enough and eligible for service.

If it was me, I would eat beans every day, every meal. That should keep those ones away. On the flip side, scantily clothed lesbians doing the nasty, definite morale booster in my book.

Edit:
I need to make a modification. The lesbians must be "hot" to me. Fat smelly lesbians with facial mustache, not acceptable.

The sexual orientation of those I'd be serving alongside would be entirely irrelevant to such a decision.

So what are you exactly afraid of? By pure statistics you already have showered with a gay person in your life and did he hurt you in any measurable way? Guess not.

Are you afraid that you would get raped by that sex crazed gay animal or what? By that you would, btw, also say that all men are sex crazed animals who would rape any woman if they would shower with her. Interesting standpoint I have to admit. Complete bollocks, yet still interesting.

Maybe you lot should put your brains into running order before commenting, cause right now, you lot are talking out of your arses.

The most telling point here is the complete failure of the "oh no, we can't trust them in the showers" brigade to actually come up with any evidence - whereas the facts speak for themselves: there have always been homosexuals serving in the military, and it has never been a problem in itself. The only difficulties have been caused by the ignorance and bigotry of others.

Meanwhile, a hypothetical question. Should Alan Turing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing) have been trusted with military secrets? After all, he was as gay as they come (or at least, as gay as he could get away with, and a little too gay for his own good eventually), and was working at Bletchley Park (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bletchley_Park). What a risk to security!
