I agree, Michael. We all know that the military is understaffed in many critical areas. If a man or woman fits the bill and is willing to help their country, their sexual preference should not even come up as any kind of an issue.

This red-state, conservative-voting gay man is quite big enough to kick someone’s ass. I recall once someone tried and was quite unpleasantly surprised.

All fag-bashers. Get a life.

lack of information, when all the god fearing xtians sit in church every sunday hearding how god (who loves all of his children) just happens to hate gays and sends them to the firey pits of hell, they usually have the wrong impression. Not to mention the all american syndrom where boys have to play football and shoot guns and be manly blah blah blah. PLUS! THERES MORE! movies, TV, radio portray homosexuals as flamboyant stereo types that try to f@%k every man with a heartbeat. Yeah the military brass thinks along these lines. but i also think on the other side of the blade that they might be worried that if some one was found to be not of the hedero sexual nature that they might get their ass beat (no pun intended) by the red state all american boy, so they might be thinking of their safety as well?

Wow, just wow. The government would rather risk having more of their soldiers die because they are worried that some gay person might look over while they are peeing and see the government’s small penis. This is absurd. There are becoming so many restrictions on homosexuals that soon they will probably have their own “separate, but equal” restrooms. I am a straight male, and used to carry distaste for homosexuals until I met some in college. I quickly learned then that they are only different in the gender they like, and there was just as many crazy gays as there are girls. You would think that if the military hates gays so much, they would send them first into battle and not bar them completely from serving. I do not know, it just seems that every couple decades the government needs someone to pick on until the people speak up about it (blacks, women, gays, etc.). This is my two cents worth.

And I’ll let you on on a dirty little secret, one that every single gay person knows. Ask a gay friend if he was ever, when young and in school, a fag-basher. One of those people who was the first to sniff out any behavior that seemed to be gay. The first to point a finger. Odds are, unless he’s a very unusual fellow, that he will say yes. It’s called denial.

I am not suggesting that homophobes are all closet cases for I do not believe it, nor does the evidence point that way. I am suggesting that some people that I’ve known have wondered what it would be like to try it just once or twice, and could not bear the thought that they might like it and go to the Dark Side and become one of the Undead. Or that they might not be utterly revolted by it and lose that pleasurable frisson of condescension and disgust at someone else’s sexual activities. It is, I suppose, the same thing as standing on a precipice and wondering what would happen if you jumped.

But you survive an experience with someone of the same sex. And it most likely won’t turn you queer even if you didn’t throw up afterwards.

And here’s one more thing for these people. One gay experience, or two, do not make you gay. They don’t even make you bisexual. Just as one experience with a woman will not make a gay man straight. I know this.

Gays have been in the military since ancient times. The only things that seem to have changed about that is how they are treated. They are every bit as American as the rest of us straight people & should be encouraged and expected to use their talents and skills. If their talents and skills can used to serve our country then they should be. We will all benefit by this.

In the worst case, if happens a worst war and every american soldier will die in battle then America will be populated only by woman, childs, elders and gays.

This sight is a life saver for many. Michael should be proud of himself. He truly has a heart of gold. God bless him and America.
