US ranks low in first-ever global index of LGBT inclusion in armed forces

The enduring ban on transgender individuals serving in the US military has earned America a low ranking in the first global league table of LGBT inclusion in the armed forces.

The US is placed at number 40 in the table of 103 countries’ armed forces as measured by their inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender service members. That puts it behind the militaries of countries such as Chile, Georgia and even America’s bête noire, Cuba.

It will never be enough.

Because Private Bradley “Chelsea” Manning hasn’t been pardoned yet?

[cunning_fish]

I call BS. No other military is that obsessed with LGBT. Their primary function elsewhere is national defence. All of the above are simply lies to push military further from it’s original mission.

On to the next protected class.

You’re right. This is bull.

[Salman]

Of course it's bull.

There always has to be a "struggle" and the just plain sort of normal homos have almost won. So here's what's next.

Who would allow TRANNIES in their armed forces?!

Sounds totally ridiculous, right?

At one time not so long ago "gays in the military" would have sounded totally ridiculous.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Terrorists are taking note of our LGBTQFU quotient ...

[Billthedrill]

Yeah - Gettysburg, Yorktown, Iwo Jima, all completely invalidated because none of the participants was wearing lacy underthings. What the hell is wrong with these people?

[SeminoleCounty]

Making our Military Gay and Globalist...every bedwetter liberals dream

[cunning_fish]

>>At one time not so long ago “gays in the military” would have sounded totally ridiculous.<<

I guess it still sounds ridiculous in most militaries including rated ahead of US in this ‘rating’.

[The_Victor]

Victory is the only measure of consequence for any military.

[cloudmountain]

All humans are born heterosexual. ANYTHING different is a choice. Why would the military WANT someone who CHOSE to be a homosexual or a bisexual...or asexual? It's abysmally abnormal, so why would ANY military want those abysmally abnormal folks serving?

[Chode]

i notice they don't name the countries QUEERied

FDRQ delenda est

[Gay State Conservative]

I feel so ashamed....

[max americana]

“All humans are born heterosexual. “

Yup. These sick bastards couldn’t even come up with the mythical “gay gene’ since the 90’s. Not one evidence of it. But don’t worry, 20 years from now, the libtards will hoist necrophilia, beastiality and incest in the armed forces...

[Bryan24]

By all means, let’s judge our military capability by the number of homosexuals in their ranks. (Extremely extreme sarcasm OFF)
