Gays In The Military
And why not?
We've always had them. We will always have them.
But why is it so necessary for gays in the military to proclaim their gayness?
I don't understand that.
Do gays in a church choir proclaim their gayness?
Do gays in nursing-home care proclaim their gayness?
Do gays in real estate proclaim their gayness?
Do gays in typesetting proclaim their gayness?
Do gays in trucking proclaim their gayness?
Or,
Do bi-sexuals in architecture proclaim their ambisexousness?
Do bi-sexuals in photography proclaim their ambisexousness?
Do bi-sexuals on the assembly line proclaim their ambisexousness?
Do bi-sexuals in the music industry proclaim theirambisexousness?
Do right-handed people proclaim their hand preference when getting married?
Do tall people proclaim their exact height when buying a house?
Do brunettes declare their hair color on the marquee of the playhouse in which they are performing?
Do thin people declare their clothes sizes when buying a ticket to a concert?
No?
And, why not?
I'm glad you asked.
They don't proclaim it because:
A. They won't receive a diploma or certificate for proclaiming it.
B. They have a different order of priorities than those wishing to do so.
but mainly:
C. It really just isn't that important to their being a functioning human being.
If you are entering the military for the simple reason that there are so many males assembled just for you, then, yes, you need to declare your gayness, and, be REJECTED for duty! Personally, I don't want you on the front line 'defending my rights' because you have all ready negated my rights by putting your own rights above mine and everyone else's and that is not what this country and the military is about.
If you are gay and want to enter the military because you have a deep seated need to contribute to the protection of the "American Way of Life," and that includes gay's, then, by all means, join the military. I appreciate your wanting to protect me and my rights as well as my neighbors and I will defend your right to join the military. If you place your duty as a soldier above your sexual preference, then doesn't declaring your sexual preference suddenly get pushed further down the list of priorities? It sort of becomes a moot point.
Of course, you have to decide. Which is more important to you, telling everyone about your gayness and being gay or defending your country and the right to be gay in that country?
And as for those of you who use the old and worn blanket arguments against gays in the military, I can only say, "C'mon, get real!"
You are parrotting arguments that will make you acceptable to your other mindless friends and have refused, once again, the "painful" responsibility of thinking your own way through an issue.
