Why do they need different living quarters and showers. If they joined the service and stand up and fight like all other soldiers I'm sure the ordinary decor of bunk's and showers is not as offensive to gay people as you might think.

Did we lose them or did they go to work for other agencies? We had a guy at my reserve center who completed all of his intelligence training, moved to Washington, and then announced that he is gay. So he gets kicked out of his low-paid E-4 position in the military and starts making six figures working full-time for whatever intel agency he got hired at.

What world do you live in? Gays have been in the military for generations, and if you think otherwise, you are probably better off in la la land, where you live. And I guess there have never been gay priests either, eh? No, only since Day One.
And you are not a bigot? You do a hell of an imitation of one.

David S...I've lived in the real world (the U.S.M.C. since 1976), sure they are there but 90% of the men and women in the military don't want any gays in the armed forces. And for your biased information, the majority of the U.S. doesn't approve of the gay rights movement either. Any state that has a gay marriage amendment are states that are controlled by Democrats, it has never been voted on and PASSED by the majority of voters. So...the real world is one that the majority still disapproves. And I'm not a bigot

bill you are still a bigot - why cant bigots ever see themselves for what they are ? i dont think gays should have to serve in the miltary though -they dont have all the rights of americans why should they have to fight for this country? let straight people die for this country

And tell me why I'm a bigot?...did I ever say those were my views?..Hell no, just stating facts, get your head out of your partners ass and read what people write, not what you want to see...Semper Fi

If you feel the need to make a qualifying statement like "I am not a bigot" then you are a bigot. Stating that you are not a bigot does not make your following statements any less bigoted or any more right.

If anyone is failing to understand something, it's you teenager...The Military has no "option" to declare Martial Law unilaterally, that right belongs to the civilian authorities to which the Military answers.

I wouldn't care if the guy next to me in the fighting pos wanted to blow the Joints Chiefs of Staff at high noon at the front entrance of the Pentagon, as long as he could send lead downrange center mass into the guy trying to kill us. I think those most vocally opposed to gays in the military probably trying to distract everyone from their hidden desires...like how excited they get when thinking about hunting submarines, because of all the Naval Seamen on board...or the thrill they get thinking about settling into a cockpit of our latest fighter jets, gripping the HOTAS (Hands-on Throttle and Stick)...or the tingle they feel when someone mentions "ball ammunition"..yep, show me a rabid right-wing homophobe, and I'll show you someone who probably spends a little too long lurking around public restrooms hoping they won't be caught.

Jeez, if all it takes is to create separate barracks and latrine facilities (which I doubt it would), I'm sure we could find the money somewhere, considering how much money Uncle Sugar pisses away on a daily basis...going all the way back to the Revolution.

Mixxitup4u, they just want to be treated equal. Give them equal rights and it goes all the way. People fear what they don't understand, or what their parents tell them to fear. Want proof? How many people follow the same religion as their parents?? If gay marriage was legalized today 2 years from now you wouldn't hear anything about it. Most people that are anti gay or anti gay marriage don't associate with gays on the regular basis so they probably wouldn't even notice.
