"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Policy Ruled Unconstitutional

The Log Cabin Republicans are scorned and laughed at by their own party, although they absolutely did the right (pun not intended) thing. I can't wait to hear Glen Beck and Ann Coulter scream that the LCR's are just a bunch of "Lib ***s in GOP Suits".

 

I was very happy to see this.

 

Because homosexuals should have the same rights to express their love for their partner and/or family openly and without fear that their heterosexual counterparts do. They should be able to mention having a partner of the same sex casually during conversation if asked and not have to lie about it or stumble over a mishmash of words that neither confirm nor deny. They should get the same respect for serving their country as their heterosexual colleagues.

 

I believe that gay men and women should have equal rights, whether it's marriage, serving their country, etc, but it really opens up a can of worms with the military. Having spent time in the Navy, I can tell you that openly gay men and women would open the door to drastic changes in the way the military does things. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe that's where "don't ask, don't tell" came into play. Rather than change quarters, showers, etc, the military would rather just ignore the issue. Saves time and money, but forces people to live in the closet.

 

Why? Because the military is full of homophobes?

 

I don't see the problem or expense. Still need the same amount of everything, just 5 new sets of signs for the doors, (Lesbians) (Homosexuals) (male/female transgenders) (female/male transgenders) ( transvestites/female impersonators).

Personally I think showering with a bunch of your own sex all the time is an indication of strong gay urges. I'd be much more comfy showering with women.

 

Because the military would have to provide accommodations for gay and straight men, as well as gay and straight women. They can't force people to pretend to be something, just as much as they can't force people to shower or dress with people who may or may not find them attractive. That's their right, just as much as it's the right for gay people to be there.

 

Or, I guess you could just have everyone shower together... men, women, straight, gay, doesn't matter..... everyone showering together. Nakedness id beautiful. Although I must warn the ladies, the mens room tends to be much less plush than the ladies, so I guess we would be moving up in the world.

 

That is unpreventable by any measure, except providing private showers for every soldier.

 

Dick Army!

 

hahahahaha ahahahaha hardee har har.

If I just wanted to take a shower and had to be forced to do so in a large area with other adults I would never be comfortable showering with a bunch of women. If they were attractive, I would want to jump all of them. If they were old and ugly I would be VERY uncomfortable. Either way, it wouldn't be comfortable.

On the other hand, if there are guys around you can talk about sports and cars and such to distract you from the sausage fest going on around you.

So, I would PREFER to shower with a bunch of attractive women. Just don't look down on me if I go to jail for the things I would do.

 

We'll see how comfortable maris is showering around women when they're all pointing and laughing at his saggy old man balls.

 

Because saggy old man balls are an eventuality for us all..... and Maris is old, ergo one can only come to the assumption that he has saggy old man balls.

 

It's my record-holding bat that attracts all the attention.
