Reply #9: It is a morale issue.

[mseang]

Military persons complain that morale would suffer, basically because a majority of the military are homophobic. They claim it is hard to be successful unit when the presence of a gay person causes such conflict. I say get over it!

I actually had this 40 something year old soldier say to me that he was worried they would attack him in the night or in the shower. I told him he was assuming that someone would be attracted to his fat ass, which was very unlikely.
