AEON, I think you should ask for a refund on your "Jump to Conclusions Mat." It seems to be broken.
It sounds to me like you are taking the stance that gays should not be allowed in the military at all. I feel like you haven't responded to all the posts, including mine, that point out that gays already serve in the military. There is a posibility that there may even be a homosexual soldier in your unit right now.
Again, I stress, the issue here is NOT whether gays should be allowed in the military. It is whether they should be allowed to be vocal about their culture. You haven't responded to any of the posts which said this. You just go on and on and on about how gays should not be in the military, but THEY ARE!
Again, I ask you. Since they are already in the military, what is so wrong about letting them say that they are gay? They are already there serving, just as anybody else. Even though I don't agree with you saying there will be sexual tension, what I'm pointing out is that the potential "sexual tension" which you think will be added is already there because THERE ARE CURRENTLY GAYS IN THE MILITARY.
Now, that being said, that certainly makes your "added sexual tension" claim to be false, since THEY ARE ALREADY THERE.
ALL this issue is about is whether or not they can be vocal. I'm being redundant, but you haven't responded to those posts. Again, I see you taking the stance that gays should not be in the military at all, which is more of your opinion than it is of the military itself, since they ARE CURRENTLY SERVING IN THE MILITARY.
