Fuck! The little devil just appeared in a poof of smoke on my shoulder. Sorry mcantar, I have to do it... Why oh why do people always use the tired and cliche'd "I have no problem with gays until they hit on me"? Have you ever been hit on by a gay? I have, yes it's a little uncomfortable the first time, but if you respectfully inform them you're not gay and not interested then usually* they stop and leave you alone. I knew a few gays during my tenure in the Army and really didn't have a problem with them. They never let it hurt unit cohesion or morale, they never over stepped their bounds, and they really didn't rub it in our faces. Do I agree with their lifestyle? No, but I try to prescribe to a live and let live with homosexuality, even if it annoys me when they stand on their soap box and scream how proud they are of being the way they are. We already are the laughing stock of the Western Military realm, they wonder why it took us so long to open up and let them serve openly, such as France, Czech Republic, UK and Aus. that allow gays to openly serve.
(*Usually is a loose term because I for one have had them try to relentlessly pursue me and then I throw in the threat of physical violence to make them back off.)

1. Because then it becomes my problem, or rather something I have to put up with. If they aren't hitting on me or being in your face about it, I can ignore it.
2. Could it be that those service members didn't overstep their bounds or rub it in your faces because they'd be kicked the f*ck out if they had? Now that its (soon to be) legal for them to do so, you can expect plenty of "rub it in your face" types to pop out of the woodwork.
3. I really have no desire to become more like the fags in France, or the tards in the UK, or any of those relatively tiny countries like Austria... or really any other country for that matter.

Oh I agree with all your points, was just playing devil's advocate. And yes, if they do come out of the woodwork rubbing it in there is enough proof right there that it will affect unit morale and order and then we'll need to get a republican in office to put forth DADT again.
