  • Re: Gays in the military: June 15-21

    [quote user="Luanne Traud"] Should the don't ask, don't tell policy for gays serving in the military be lifted? [/quote] The current "don't ask, don't tell" policy is absurd. Those that wish to serve their country should not be excluded due to sexual orientation. For...

  • Re: Gays in the military: June 15-21

    [quote user="Frederick Fuller"] Are our soldiers and sailors, junior high school kids? I've showered with gays, addressed the wall in front of many urinals with gays, and never once been approached. One of our panelists said correctly that gays know who is gay. They are not likely to hit...

    [quote user="Clonnie Yearout"]Unless the President can somehow increase the Dem's majorities in the House and Senate in the mid-term elections, it would seem that there is no better time than right now to reverse the gays in the military policy. He might not have unanimous support of his...

    [quote user="Clonnie Yearout"]A gay male walking into my straight male bathroom (while I am using it) is the equivalent of me, as a straight male, walking into the straight females' bathroom while they are using it. If it isn't, somebody (anybody) show me the flaw in my logic. If I...

    [quote user="OldTimer"]I'm afraid that you are the one in denial. Like it or not,the most logical reason for the current semi-peaceful condition is the don't ask don't tell policy. The gays in "all walks of life" are not sleeping and living in the same barracks as the...

  • Re: Gays in the military: June 15-21

    [quote user="Clonnie Yearout"]Some have brushed away the personal privacy argument with respect to lifting the ban on gays in the military, but I think it's a valid issue which must be addressed. With the addition of three new sexual preferences added to the two traditionally accepted ones...

    [quote user="OldTimer"]If you can't accept this as a murky, potentially negative situation, you are being far too optimistic.Peace, Norb [/quote] No, if you can't accept that responsible adults of any gender or sexual orientation for the most part will behave themselves properly while...

  • Re: Gays in the military: June 15-21

    [quote user="OldTimer"]Sorry, Dave. I don't buy your point. This would be an intimate environment where folks share showers and bed space. And, sexual attraction will exist even amongst volunteer professionals. Remember the scandals at the Air Force Academy, and with the astronauts? Also...

  • Re: Gays in the military: June 15-21

    [quote user="Sandi Saunders"] Dave, just to be clear as well, "outing Gay sexuality" is no more fair than "outing" non-gay sexuality. And which, one might ask has caused more trouble and issues from a law enforcement, military or societal aspect? Human sexuality is an issue...

  • Re: Gays in the military: June 15-21

    [quote user="Gibson Brown"]To speak stereotypically, the "flaming" gays at the head of the parade line prancing and what not, are the exception not the rule. You never see two lawyers who happen to be gay discussing pleasantries on the news, it's always the light in the loafers...
