While the rest of the servicemembers don't have to hide it and lead a double life ...
They're not living double lives, nobody is asking then to live as straights, they're being told to serve and keep their sexual lives a personal and private matter.
While heteros aren't. That's discrimination.
What military are you in? There's all sorts of personal life discussion going on in the military. The whole DADT thing extends to when you aren't in uniform too.
I'm in the real Army, unlike you. The Army for disciplines professionals. If it isn't work related it isn't necessary.
That works in theory. Reality doesn't jive with that and you know it.
Two people of same sex having sexual intercourse is not the same as being black or white.
No, it isn't but the arguments you are using against the gays are the exact same ones used against the blacks. Try some history for a change.
Its the gays that need to adpat, not me, I have no problem with DADT and the things I disagree with I have adpated to, why can't gays do the same? Don't demand for me to do adapt and not demand gays adapt.
Wrong. You are demanding they hide who they are while you don't have to. You are the one making the demand, not vice versa. Weak.
The rest of the country is not open arms with homosexuals. If the behavior and presence of gays in a workplace disrupts an operation employers do have the right to dismiss, especially if the goals and aims of that workplace and homosexuality are incompatible.
False. Go talk to the kid who worked at a shop at Logan Airport and tried to get his lesbian coworker fired for talking about her girlfriend.
But lol at the "aims of the workplace and homosexuality are incompatible" ... that's some funny stuff right there.
Yes you are, anybody that disgarees with you and stands fast to their opinion you label a homophobe. The military is not a support group for anyone's activist agendas.
Your own words make you a homophobe ... making sweeping generalizations about what "everybody" thinks about them.
Then you don't have a clue about the Army, I'm in the Army and I've also had the opportunity to be on the trail as a drill sergeant and I can tell you with 100% certainy that you are wrong. No soldiers that I'm aware of are interested in hearing about the love life and personal lives of what gays do with other gays. If they do exist they are very few in number. Don't tell me you know my fellow soldiers better than me.
I know plenty about the Army. I was stationed at Pope for 3 years and worked hand in hand with the Army on numerous occasions both CONUS and in the AOR. What you are saying here is unsubstantiated nonsense.
The question was straightforward, I'm a professional with high standards, I don't dumb things down for anyone.
Then you get no answer.
Show me some evidence that people's attitudes can be forcefully changed by military policies, just because someone follows policy don't mean they agree with it and accept it with open arms. It hasn't worked for stopping racism and it will not work homosexuality, attitudes simply shift from overt to covert and cause people uneeded stress.
It hasn't worked to stop racism?
The United States military is the most color blind organization in the country.
No one wants to hear about homosexuals private lives whether it be sexual or about having dinner with a boyfriend. I guarantee that if DADT is rescinded and gays start discussing those things in the workplace and the environment becomes hostile and disruptive one sided homosexual actvists like you are going to blame these flare ups of homophobia because you only see things from one side and don't look at the bigger picture on the military is affected.
Speak for yourself.
If there is a flare up I will absolutly blame it on homophobia because that's exactly what it is.
