I say no.
No. The military has a job to do, harsh and unexpected conditions to operate in, we do not need the distractions from the LBGT crowd. The left wants to reduce the size of the military, so with a smaller military we do not need to recruit from that 3% of the population.

Yeah.....also in breaking news......drinking a lot of water causes people to go the the bathroom more often.

I read the comments following the story and some people are just hell bent on racism denial. I mean.....over 90% of the history of whites and blacks in these lands have been under legalized racism.....but since racism is no longer protected by law its supposed to not exist.

Racism...is the denial of racism as an issue.
I, too, make "sinister associations" in relation to black men; I'm no cop...just an average white woman determined not to be a dead fool.

So far this strategy has served me well in my quest of staying alive.

What makes you think that people getting shot at care about the LGBT at the time?

The right wants to increase the size of the military, so with a bigger military we need a larger pool to recruit from. See how anything can be reversed to project someone elses feelings on the matter?

You guys just keep creating excuses for us by your behavior.
Another 'black' individual who has never studied black history!

The majority of slave owners were in fact Obama look-a-likes (mulattoes) of which I am one.

And as for legalization .. It was a Black man who went to court to fight for and and is responsible for the legalization of slavery in North America.

You have a beef?

Take it up with Obama's ancestors!

The majority of slave owners were mulattoes or potatoes.....both options have he same probability of being true.

Its true that the small percentage of blacks who owned slaves....were in fact mullattoes. However, it is utter absurdity to believe that the majority of slave owners were mulattoes.....maybe potatoes, but not mulattoes

Some never recovered their nerve and used for rear echelon duties.
