No, you couldn't.
Someone might suspect and that's all that's required to end a military career.
You know, a good witch hunt.
Some people enjoy making others the brunt of their own unhappiness.
Yet.
However federal health benefits will soon be available for domestic partners.
Not good enough for l ibs. They'll whine and throw foot stomping tantrums unless it's called "marriage".
So you couldn't invite your friends (romantic or not) to watch a football game with your fellow soldiers? The spouse thing will never work cause the federal government does not recognize same sex marriages. Gays always create their own social functions. Since when do gays socialize with heterosexuals? That rarely happens in the civilian world.
Somehow I knew, without knowing you, that someone would go there. I chose to put up the noun definition first, thinking it might be useful, but no, I was wrong, though ultimately right. If it were at all possible, for you to objectively look at my posts, I think you'd find that I'm not into homophobia, I'm just of the belief that the issue's time isn't now, it's being forced, it won't happen in the current environment. Just as I'm not black, I'm not gay, nor am I in a position to acclimate to many minority positions. It's hard enough to get people to go to a voting booth for something which doesn't have a place in their lives, it gets harder depending upon the volume of names, fruits and vegetables thrown on the way to the voting booth.
First of all, if it were up to some people, obviously by your words, you, too; there would never be gay rights. Period.
Secondly, most of my post was directed to a different poster.
You comment comparing your dog's sexual rights to gay rights is sad and disturbing.
Votes to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell are lacking and the bill won't pass. It does not matter that most of the civilized nations have already accomplished this. The United States, bastion of freedom, defender of liberty nose dives into an empty pool....
Only hets are allowed to show affection or love another human?
Only if it meets with your approval?
Are you serious?

Not agreeing with something does not mean fear.
You don't have to agree with someone else's sexual orientation.
I do not fear homos.
I would debate that; either fear or hate. You choose to disrespectfully call them "homos" - how about that respect?
Do you fight for everyone's freedoms? Or just those that you agree with?
I've been in and around the military for over 3 decades.
If people don't live in socially liberal cities they don't socialize with anyone outside of their peer group. And gays are not in every single peer group.

I guess this is my first "Oh no you di' ind't moment in here, probably not the last. I don't know if there'll be "gay rights" in my lifetime. Honestly, from my perspective, you'd be astonished at the apathy I possess for the someone's right to join the military, openly professing of one's sexual orientation. My choices for comparison, as far as sexual orientation are limited, I apologise for anyone offended by my thoughtless act of dragging Cody the Dingo into the conversation.
Haha?? What stereotyped world do you live in? I'm a proud gay man - out since I was 17 - ran the ***** Alliance at my college. Yet 8 out of 10 times I socialize it's primarily with heterosexuals.
Wouldn't this be a good reason to have muslim nations forbid any US soldiers from entering muslim nations, because gays would be there. I think that might be the reason why liberals are so in favor of it?
Does anyone think that muslim nations would be welcoming to gay US troops?
Why are you so obsessed with Muslims?
