OK Landowner I will engage, but in a milder way than you may expect. If a "gay" individual can serve without broadcasting his/her mental glitch, they may get away with it. Keep in mind however, the military is not like civilian life. Bathrooms and duty situations are not comparable to the civilian situation.
However, we should keep in mind that if one is openly 'gay', that is for sexual reasons, ...the opposite sex, it may make normal people uncomfortable, having to for instance, to shower with with a person of the opposite sex.
Imagine your daughter if you have one, or anybody else's daughter, having to accept a man in the shower with her! No reason a normal person should be discomforted for the sake of another with a confused identity. The on post accomodations may not be the same now, but in the field, things are more open.
As a Bible oriented Christian, I know that homosexuality is immoral to the point that without repentance, one is lost. I don't hate a homosexual , but I would like to be able to talk to them and convince them of their error before it is too late.
With all that LGBTQ, there is much confusion, so much that it seems it will soon be LGBTQRDFUINGS.. once the 30 or 40 different perversions gain acceptance. Obama screwed that up !
The major problem with the whole scene with the military is this..the transexual ones !
I would not have been allowed to serve in the Army, were I to have a list of prescriptions such as I have now, at my age. I had a physical rating of A-1-1-1-1-1-1, which is called a "picket fence".
I understand that many of the transgenders have a list of prescriptions and procedures with which they must comply. The Army & Marines in particular, can't be bothered with hundreds of people in the field who are in need a whole range of prescriptions... to be delivered to troops involved in combat.
..And to think that anyone should come into the military, just to seek transgender surgery, would simply be larceny of the taxpayers. Truthfully, any body who tries to enlist in the military, just to get 'peter deleter' surgery, should be rejected.
