70. No, they shouldn't be drafted - they don't want me now, they don't
need me then. Plenty of College Republicans can go instead. Besides, I've already served, honorably, right up until they booted me for being queer.

As for the whole genetic/choice thing - here's my very simplistic answer.

If gay is genetic, then I deserve to be treated exactly the same as an American - regardless if their genetics made them white, straight, male or female.

If gay is a choice, then I deserve to be treated exactly the same as an American - regardless if their choices made them Baptist, straight, college educated, rich or jazz musicians.

It doesn't matter one bit WHY I'm gay, what matters is that I'm an American - and no less of one than anyone else in this country.
