Oh good, another thread about how bad America is, and how terrible our country is at keeping up with the rest of the world.
It must be hard for people to divide their time here between the threads about how mean we are to gay people and the threads about how great people from other parts of the world are that will KILL you for being gay.
One of the truly great things about our nation is you actually CAN be anything you want to be as long as you don't try to cram it down other peoples' throats. And when all else fails, you're also free to leave anytime you want.
Who's shoving anything down people's throats? This is merely an attempt to allow qualified individuals to serve and sometimes die for their country. Frankly, as retarded as the US is sometimes, I don't ever compare it to the freedoms that a muslim country offers. I compare it to countries of the First and Second World who have some idea of what a civilized society is. Here is a list of countries that DO allow gay military members to serve:
Surely, the United States can do better. Obama is a miserable failure who does not stick up for us. Is he trying to appeal to conservatives? Well guess what Obama, they will NEVER vote for you.
I always hated how the homosexual community has coined the phrase 'homophobia' and the media has allowed it to spread. It is inaccurate. A phobia is a FEAR of something. People who are against the homosexual agenda are not acting out of fear, the same way one has a fear of heights, or fear of snakes. They usually hold their beliefs due to religious or moral codes they were brought up with. In some cases they might be disgusted with homosexual acts so, at worst, it would be homodisgust and not homophobia.
Here you go... getting kicked out of the military simply because of your sexual orientation.
Does that work for you?
Why does anyone need to know? TMI, Too Much Information. Openly discussing sexual relations is commonly known as a harassing behavior. If Bob can talk up Steve's wonderful buns, then Sally wouldn't have a right to be offended that Bob enjoys Sally's assets as well.

I guess you can call fear and hatred anything you like, but it's still fear and hatred.

First of all, a good number of my male friends are gay and their conversations don't really go like that, especially not in a workplace.
Is it okay, then, for hets to say those things about other hets?
Isn't that a double standard and TMI?
All straight people should have to remove all relics of their relationships to include significant others and children from their desks.
There should be no speaking of their partners or families. No phone calls or terms of endearment like honey, etc.
If they do, they should be discharged.

You've never heard of people having "the fear of BEING gay"? Why else would kids bully other kids who appear to be gay? That scenario is enacted generation after generation and modifies itself into adulthood.

Civilian employees don't talk like that, much less those in the Military who follow a much more stringent code.

But that isn't a definition for homophobia in the military.
Why does it have to be acknowledged? What's wrong with Don't ask Don't tell? - we're not going to ask if you're gay, and you don't have to tell us if you are.
I think this may be a gay image issue. If the image people in the military have of gays is that they're boisterous, narcissistic, self-centered, childish, neurotic, untrustworthy, lecherous, insecure, emotionally unstable, escapist, detached from reality, etc... then maybe gays should portray themselves in a more positive light so that they become more socially acceptable.

Maybe the DOD doesn't read the gay activist threads on CD.
