I knew gay people in the military. Everyone knew who was gay and there were no problems. It's just a matter of accept it, get used to it or get out....
I've never seen a Unicorn, Dragon, Leprechaun, or openly gay and happy man in the military.
Care to guess why that is?

Regardless of anyone on this message boards opinion to the contrary, wishing it wasn't so or whatever.....
I would truly feel sorry for anyone who was gay and open about it in the military.
Especially in grunt units in the Army and Marines.
It might work in the Air Force because they aren't really the military anyway.
I disagree. It would just take a whole lot of time & a firm stance on it. The hatred homophobes have for gays is no worse than the hatred racists had for blacks. I also believe the harder the stance on it the military takes, the less likely the extreme homophobes will be to sign up, so in time, they would be weeded out. It will just take a LOT of time, patience and consistency from the highest ranks on down.

To be honest, I would wager that if/when DADT is overturned, you will not see a great rush of openly gay men into the "grunt" units. Oh, there will be plenty of them in there, just like today, but they will not be open about it - at least for a long time.
You will see openly gay men and women in some of the "soft" areas (i.e. non-front-line). Can any one of you, really defend the exclusion of a gay or lesbian from being a translator, medic, etc?
You know your a redneck when you beat up the guy next you because he is gay instead of fighting the enemy!!
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was getting at.
Man, you totally blew that one.
It is:
Iiiiif YOU want to beat up the GUUUUY next to you becauuuuse he is GAAAY, instead of fighting the guys who want to KIIIIIL YOOOU....you might be a redneck.

I just feel that the years of racial intolerance far surpass anything that a homosexual could ever experience.
People in this country bought and sold slaves after they were uprooted from their families in Africa, they were not allowed to sit with the white people on buses or trains. They had their own water fountains in public areas
I can't recall a gay person ever being sold to work on a cotton farm or having to use a special drinking fountain.
So I just don't think you can compare racism in this country to anti-homosexual opinions
