You guys are making a big deal out of this situation.If you want to live a gay lifestyle that is your business,why are you putting this situation on me and others who don't agree with your lifestyle. I feel violated everytime you fight for the gay lifestyle. You want marriage,children,and now to be open in the military. You think you will be free? no way!! no matter what daniel Choi says or,Rachel Maddow says.

@dwaysmi I feel violated every time someone with your level of ignorance is given the right of free speech, but it is what it is. Rights and freedoms for everyone. The battle is far from over but it's coming...whether you like it or not.

Nobody will give you anything unless you ask, and Dan Choi is asking, you have to respect a man that lost everything on principle.

Plato also wrote in "The Laws" that homosexuality was wrong, at best he is inconsistent on homosexuality, at worst hostile toward it. Aristotle on the other hand clearly approved of homosexuality, as he hated women. Even in the materials you cite to support the idea that Plato was in favor of homosexuality there is a clear message that a man should not actually engage in sex with a boy , hence the term "platonic relationship." You were suppose to mentor them, not sodomize them.

@Plato86 In the republic Plato says that you shouldn't indulge in any sexual intercourse which isn't meant to result in pregnancy, which includes gay sex but also every straight sex which hasn't the goal pregnancy, since all that is wasting one's seed. It isn't about gay love. The republic is a very theoretical, ideological, it is a formulation of an utopia and often conflicts with other things Plato wrote, like plenty of things approving of homosexuality, love poems to his male lovers ect.

[Plato86]

Read "The Republic" and tell me what Plato has to say about homosexual. Hint, it is not good.

@Plato86

I just had a big laugh about you posting this nonsense under the name of Plato. It is kind of ironic, isn't it, that somebody named Plato thinks gays can't fight while the real Plato believed that gay men were braver than non-gay men. Just read the symposion.

How on earth is anyone supposed to take the military seriously if they can't even deal with the fact some of their colleagues have different preferences to them. What are they, kids?

[dwaysmi]

@Meggion ignorance is in your mind. Yes,you have rights and freedom,I hope you are ready to face pandora's box?

[OpinionatedOldFart]

I say LET the homosexuals serve; They can B!tch Sl@p the cr@p out of the enemy & lisp at the enemy, "oh just stoppit". By they way, why do they have that funny sounding voice; is it all that "sweetmilk" that pours over their vocal cords?
