  • can he see?

  • @WhipGaysWithTruth

    False there is a lot of discrimination about gays and lesbians in the military and most will do like me and keep it to ourselves people are not stupid and yes now gays and lesbians can be open about it but no one will if you are in the military you will understand how much people hate them. So your opinion is that just your opinion. I am gay and I don't know what it does to help anyone mostly it will backfire and get someone hurt for some stupid reason. Is what it is.

  • Do you really want to see flaming faggots walking through Navy ships swinging their hips wearing lipstick and eye liner and acting even more feminine than women???? Just give it some time..It will happen

    The gays are DECEIVING people into thinking only masculine faggots will join the military but there are no laws preventing EXTREMELY FEMININE faggots from joining the military...

    Organizations with A LOT OF MEN attract faggots. Faggots like to be around men

  • @ttranccoc123 Just Say No to Homos!

  • @zedxyle

  • @ttranccoc123 well separate restrooms would just be ridiculous and no im not a liberal.

  • @zedxyle

    what is next gay and lesbian is a gender and separate restroom? Enough is Enough. Fuck you if you disagree with me. You are a liberal so we can't agree on shit.

  • @ttranccoc123 Damn right we should show those western European countries that we aint followers we are leaders! And ban gays outright!... u relize how ignorant u sound right.

  • @zedxyle

    Good for them. We need to set an example. We are the leader not follower.

  • @ttranccoc123 You relize all of the United States' allies allow gays in their military's who are allowed to serve openly with American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan right...
