Also the fact you believe gays/straight should be separated shows that you do not believe gay men are true men, which actually shows your ignorance. Why don't you complain to the generals how lesbian soldiers should be with the men? Do you think a gay guy is any less capable of physical stamina than you, as a straight? Do you think gay men poses a threat to you as a straight? Where are the women complaining when they are in confined spaces or anywhere near men? Or does this only apply to gays?

Is that a question of solipsism? It could be that the world really did implode and this unimploded world which I now perceive is simply the product of my own imaginings. In light of this, I suppose technically I am only 99.999999999999999% sure about my statement.

You got raped in the wings of a theatre while performing a quickchange during a show? Or does your arse still burn from the world imploding?

Voice your true thoughts here. This poll is anonymous so you can vote no if you choose so, obviously, as you are entitled to but please try and post an explanation too and why you think its important such a law is or isn't allowed.

Lastly, wouldn't people who dislike gays want them in the army? Its the best way to kill them off.

Vote!

No problem with it.
If they want to fight, let them fight. Because there is no way I will be taking their place any time soon.

Okay, but what about the housing once openness is okay? Before it didn't matter because supposedly you didn't know who was gay. But now that you know, straight men may object to being in the same living quarters. So shouldn't separate quarters be arranged for openly gay soldiers?

I don't see why should their objection to be with a gay in the same room even be considered.

Separation should exist only in the showers, beyond that there's no specific problem surrounding gays and straights in the same room.

Why would it matter if straight men know who's gay?

Sexual distraction in the military is prevented when possible.

The only place in the military, for example, where men and women share the showers, is in submarines.

They don't occupy them at the same time.

Because they are different sexes. And now that I've answered your question perhaps you could answer mine.

So what, so they are different? The shower heads are in the same place.

Aren't there already protocols for dealing with people who have issues with each other? What if a Protestant objects to sharing quarters with a Catholic?

No, not because they are different sexes, the correct answer would be because there is a sexual attraction between each of the groups to the other.

Sexual attraction is distracting and damages the efficiency of the soldiers in doing their roles, and that is why females and males do not use the same showers (when possible), and the same is correct about any other two groups where at least one group is attracted to the other.

Gay men, obviously.

Really? Are they so distracted they can't perform their jobs? Are they so distracted they can't shower?

How exactly are they distracted?

And why would they be more distracted if everyone knew they were gay? Would that somehow make them even gayer?
