Its all bullshit. Someone's sexual preference shouldnt be an issue for anything. Once upon a time all the same moronic arguments were made against blacks in the military...you know what? Either get used to it or dont join the fucking military.

---

Really? People used to argue against blacks in the military because of the issue of romantic relationships?

---

No people argued that blacks would make the other soldiers uncomfortable and thus negatively affect their performance.Which is the main argument for those against gays in the military. If you are uncomfortable sharing quarters with a gay person..guess what..thats YOUR problem,not theirs. Get over it. People shouldnt be denied because of others ignorance and small mindedness.

And relationship issues already happen in the military. They always have.Either closeted gay relationships,or male female. People deal. Its life. Get over it and grow up.

Why are you forcing me to support a side I really don't care much about?

The two arguments are not equivalent. The fact that the two arguments are not equivalent is the entire foundation of my position.

You want desperately to claim that people who don't like the idea of gays in the military are uncomfortable around gay people. Is that because your position looses credibility if you admit that this is really not the problem?

---

I'm not forcing you to do anything. I'm saying that people shouldnt be excluded from a job just because others "feel funny" around them for no other reason then how they were born. Whether thats skin color,sexual orientation,gender....doesnt matter.
One persons "feelings" should NEVER trump another persons legal rights.

---

Who said anything anywhere on here about anybody feeling funny around anybody else? You simply invented that.

The reason I feel compelled to respond is that you are trying to portray my position as one of prejudice against somebody else because I don't like their sexual orientation. That is untrue and a cheap shot.

I am simply curious to see if you can come up with any other argument other than "you don't like gay people, get over it, it's like with black people, you're prejudiced."

I don't think you can. Therefore, you don't have any argument against my position, so I must be right.

---

There is no other argument. There are already gays in the military...always have been. The only change is that other people would know they were gay. Therefore the only argument is that others must be kept ignorant because of prejudice.Period.

So they need to get over that prejudice so that others dont have to hide who they are or risk losing their job...or dont join the fucking military.

Its illegal to deny someone a job in any other place because of discrimination re: sexual orientation. The military should be no different.

I win.
