Not all but some will. Others will have to tell about their love life. Others will say and do nothing to bring attention to them. I am not worried about all but some. I have a gay family member but she keeps it to herself
Yeah, I don't get it haha.
Not hide does not mean flaunt. Not hide means to not have to hide. I don't hide my weight problems. I do not flaunt them.
back during the last administration those who were "very liberal" would balk at taking anything the pentagon stated as truth... I find the turnabout, humorous, if not ironic.
Well there is also "very conservative" people doing the same thing now
Besides I was 15 in 05, and actually thought I would be a conservative when I started to vote, then I started paying attention to things :lol:
No they are forcing us to accept their life style and be seen as normal. Adopting,marriage DADT is all part of it
You are getting even further from addressing the simple question I asked. Let me try again. Is being allowed to marry the person of their choice a special privilege? Is being allowed to serve their country like any one else a special privilege? Is being allowed to own property, enter into a lease, hold a job like any one else a special privilege?
Their will be those that flaunt it. Some will still hide it. Why is it so important for the world to know they are gay. I for one don't care and don't want to hear about it
No, you're just making false claims, and illogical arguments.

The difference in this case is "the right" asked for the DoD to do a review, and now that they did, don't like the answer given.
No one was stopped from marrying or serving in the military. I can show you many churches that marry gays without a license

"Some on the".... rof
Like drinking? :2razz:
If you truly don't care, then why do you want to force LGBT Americans to hide it? And trust me, LGBT people are just as boring as straight people, and are just as likely to flaunt their sexuality as straight people.
They are normal, to me and many others. You and some others are the ones who don't see them as normal. Normality is relative. I was somewhat normal within the group of those I worked with in the military, nukes. I, like many other nukes, however, were far from normal in the eyes of many, many other sailors. Nukes are generally geeks and nerds.
They are not demanding that someone accepts their lifestyle. They are demanding that they be treated fairly. You don't have to accept that a guy likes other guys, but if you're in the military, you should certainly be expected to tolerate it. The military makes people who don't accept guys who date fat chicks or girls who date outside their race accept such relationships as allowed by the military. It doesn't matter how many people don't consider such relationships as normal.
So you have never attended a military function with a girlfriend/wife? You have not told the military that you are married, if you are? You have never once mentioned a girlfriend/wife to any other person you worked with? You can do these things in the military you know. It is acceptable if you are heterosexual.
You have your opinion I have mine. I believe gays will not rest till they feel their lifestyle is accepted by society as normal.
No my wife left me when I was in the military
As they should be. They are not being treated fairly in either situation.
Still doesn't show them asking for special treatment.
No my wife left me when I was in the military
So the solution to that is to not let LGBT soldiers serve openly? The majority of the soldiers do not care, and there are already rules in place to prevent any fraternization problems that may occur.
