I find it silly that grown men (I say men because most women in the military don't tend to discriminate against lesbians in the armed forces) are complaining about possibly having to room with a homosexual. You enlisted to serve our country. You go to foreign land and brave hostility and danger. Yet, you're worried that the person you're sharing a room with is attracted to the same gender? I appreciate every soldier fighting for my rights. But, come on now. These unaccepting men need to grow up.
I fail to see how discriminating against a group of people is considered religious freedom. I am a lesbian and a witch, your holy book says I should die for these "sins", would you object to someone following there "religious freedom" and killing me. I will assume you would object, your freedom to swing your arms ends at my noes, your rights as religious person ends where mine begin. say bigoted things if you want in the name of your religion, just expect to be called a bigot for it.
The world is progressing, slowly. In Saudi Arabia women will be allowed to sort of "vote" soon. Who knows, in 4 or 5 decades maybe Saudi Arabia and America will even abolish the death penalty!: )
@winterstellar that action in Saudi Arabia is really just to quell the populace for a little while until the "arab spring" movements passed by. and the women were allowed to "participate", the king never actually said "vote". Its really just a bait and switch so that the king and his advisors dont come under the same amount of scrutiny as other tyrants.
A women was whipped recently in SA for a driving a car; do you really think theyre progressing? NOPE.
For those who think homosexuality can be problematic in an army, I suggest you read up on the sacred band of Thebes.
An elite force of just homosexual lovers. They were effectively the "special forces" of Greek soldiery. There is a stone Lion statue in Thebes in memory of them.
"Virtually every military expert has admitted that, yes, there will be problems with this," ---- More bullshit from lying sack of shit Elaine Donnelly.
@sdry Yeah, but it took another democrat in office to bring this through. You should have supported Clinton when all the Republicans talked about was Monica. All U gays did was joined the Republicans talking about fcking log cabin. Also tell that fking Chaplain in the video above to shut his ass. If I was gay I would not go to any chaplain because politics have done more for people than religion. If he has a dadt problem what about other religions.
@ROHANWANKAR22 If you're going to use the word 'fact', then yes we are here to check your English since you apparently have no clue what a fact really is.
If you as a soldier have a problem with a man because of his sexuality, you have failed as a soldier, if you cannot function properly as a soldier knowing there is a gay man in your unit then you should be the one discharged.
Homophobes need to stop fucking whining. It's called being different, you weren't the first one to have a problem with differences, there was a time when women couldn't vote, and you couldn't go to school with whites if you were black.
O snap! Republicans fear that now gay military members will fight for the same marriage rights as heterosexual ones! This is America! We do not give equal rights to all citizens you jerks! This country is for people just like me only. You either are just like me and love America or you are a terrorist and can gtfo!
lol. I love how the chaplin is complaining about how he can't preach about how homosexuality is a sin. And all I can think of is... wtf... why are you in the army, waste of space? Are you fighting or just hiding and praying?
@ROHANWANKAR22 Your ignorance is unbelievable, people like you do nothing but hurt other people for what? How do gay/lesbian people personally hurt/offend you? Do they make fun of you because you are heterosexual? Why do you feel justified in wishing that these brave soldiers, who are risking their lives so that you can make this blatantly ignorant statement, should go kill themselves?
Yes Ron Crews, no one wants to hear about your religious judgemental bullshit. Your religious views on gays has nothing to do with the military you dipshit.
@ROHANWANKAR22 Are you sad that this isn't your world? Are you sad the tables are now turning? Are you sad that us gays are now considered as people, instead of second class citizens? If you are, too bad, maybe you should commit suicide, relieve your self of the painful realization of your ignorance.
Why does the military spend so much time worrying about a gay people when they should be worrying about people abusing, bullying and taking drugs. There are so much worse things to be concerned about, but they have to spend there time and energy discriminating against the gays. Why?
"I can't be an open bigot anymore! how can there be equality if I cannot openly state that other people are worth less than me - that's intolerant and oppressive of my beliefs"
This is fucking stupid. Claiming that having gay men in the military is even worse than saying to not have women in the military, men have that slight upper-body advantage.
Stop treating people different from you as second class citizens, you are a few genes away from being a chimpanzee in the zoo, fuck off you bigoted pricks.
