feels they have something to hide.

I understand what you're saying--especially since you're obviously working against these allegations--but I can't help but wonder if this excuse is being used to bar the GLBT community from public service in the military and elsewhere.

If gays and other were allowed to be themselves then they would need to hide and hence they wouldn't be susceptible to having their lives destroyed over petty nonsense.

And I don't wish to sound impatient with you, it's not you but people's ridiculous prejudices.
