I know it’s already been discussed but I’m fascinated by this formulation:
It’s like you used to write introductions for The Stig on Top Gear and can’t stop doing it.
As for “why homosexuals are in the military”, the answer is: because they want to serve their country. In fact, “some people” could make a very strong argument that gay men and women who knew the vast amount of abuse, discrimination and outright persecution they were likely to face and STILL joined up to serve are a hell of a lot more patriotic than your average grunt (and far more so than “your friends” who are bitching about them). Go look at the accomplishments of the likes of, say, Stephen Snyder-Hill and tell me people like that don’t love their country.
And sure, we could kick out all the homosexuals like we used to, but then you’re asking to weaken the military (as happened when a number of desperately-needed Arabic translators got the boot due to their orientation during the Bush years). Which would be really fucking stupid.
