The military's survey of active members on the effects of repealing "don't ask, don't tell" reveals biases

The Pentagon is surveying 400,000 active troops on how they would handle a potential repeal of "don't ask, don't tell." It is kind of a mess.

Ask a woman how she would like to shower with a barrack full of men . Or ask a man ow he would like to shower with one full of women ? Same exact thing .

When the races were integrated in the military, did they ask white soldiers how gross it would be to shower with blacks?

What a shame that they're dragging this out like this. The leaders (Congress, the Pentagon, the President, etc.) should just make up their minds and put the new rules in place.

You know, if there are gay guys in the military, they're already showering with them.

For the most part, there is private showering in the military.
They got rid of gang latrines years ago.

Who would want to shower with someone of the same sex knowing they are fantasizing about having sex with you while you are standing there.

Talk about being a sick situation.

I sure would not want to be in a shower full of women and one goofball among us has a chemical problem in their brain and craves having sex with someone of the same sex.

Time to go puke now.

I think they need to release the poll because I am sure the majority of the men or women would fell very uncomfortable knowing a sick person could be standing there starring at you.

Why are these guys so arrogant to think that every gay man wants to have sex with them? I mean, I don't walk around fantasizing about having sex with every guy I see....

I've showered around lesbians at the gym and during camping trips...no big.

Do you go to the gym? If so, you've probably changed and/or showered in the vicinity of lesbians. Unless, of course, you're one of those scaredy cats who hides in the bathroom stalls when they change
