Seems like a logical deduction.

Science has also shown that homosexuality is a mental disorder, why do you believe some science but not other science?

sciencie has NEVER shown that. as a matter of fact when science was applied it showed that it was NOT a mental disorder.

Been in what? I think they should not serve in seperate barracks. I think they should serve in seperate brigades. Here comes the gay brigade, oh look the color guard is carried by the transgenders!

With gays serving openly, and the same unit commander has 12 people checking in, he may end up with:

2 straight men
2 straight women
2 gay men
2 bisexual men
2 lesbians women
2 bisexual women

If the commander has three man rooms, who is he supposed to assign to which room, and not expect any problems?

Straights with straights, bis with bis, gay men with lesbians.

I think you should be separated from normal servicemembers in quarters. It's not bigotry to not want to sleep next to and shower with homosexuals.

And 'blacks'. It's not bigotry to not want to drink next to a 'negro' or 'colored'.

And how nice that gay veterans will now be able to socialize openly with gay soldiers who are still in the military. I think the repeal of DADT is up there with health care legislation as Obama's greatest achievements. Haters be damned!
