Don't Ask Don't Tell

Yeah, wrong smiley.

Incidentally, how physical do people get when they're flirting and what would you consider inappropriate as far as come-ons from members of the same-sex?

It's been a while since I've been posting, my smiley game will be up and running correctly soon enough.

Dont ask Dont tell is ridiculous. It's no more legitmate than segregation, in fact it is segregation. Being in the military, and knowing many fellow service members who happen to be homo's, I believe you should be able to be open with it. I know one of my good friends in our unit who happens to be lesbian and has to conceal it as having a "roomate", and can't recieve the military benefits of being married like a straight couple can. It's unbelieveable that the Obama Administraion and the state of California, two of the most forward thinking goverment entities in the world, are now lapsing on the *** marriage and open military issues.

I don't understand how people could possibly be afraid of a homosexual person.
Look at my sweaty body all you want, I'm not going to go Gestapo on another person's sexual interest. I'll be flattered, and I may lead on, but eventually, I'm going to draw a line that separates my ass from a dick in it.

I don't even know why I'm typing all this. Sexual preference is a constant, but any advances I get from a gay guy is just going to be met with a friendly conversation. If I weren't so sure about my own sexuality, I might be threatened, but since that's not the case, well... let 'er rip.

The highlighted lines were some I took umbridge with. I wouldn't call them enlightened or even decent. Who does that to anyone, period?

Screw with someone until you've had your fun? And why do you suppose their "checking out your sweaty body?"

What I meant by that is I may jokingly make comments that may lead someone to misread my sexual orientation.

As far as the sweaty body comment, it was supposed to mean I'm not threatened if I happen to be found attractive by a homosexual. I didn't think I'd have to explain that I didn't mean it literally.

I believe they want to prevent sexual relationships between soldiers. That is why they keep men and women seperate. Unethical maybe, but it makes practical sense. I don't think people should get their feathers ruffled by this. It's not like there are not *** people currently serving, it's just a policy of keeping your sexual preferences to yourself.

The romans seemed to think it promoted better on field fighting, and they dominated the known world.

Maybe we need more homosexuals in the military if we're going to win a multi-fronted war.
