"And people argue that there won't be a problem with gays in the military."
Bad example. This really isn't a gays in the military problem; it's a gays in the Catholic clergy problem.

My take on it exactly. As a Catholic clergyman, I'm appalled at how many there are considering my faith has always seen this orientation as a disorder. Any other psychological disorder would exclude a man from Holy Orders immediately. But gays have had a free ride for far too long.

I think it's both. in fact, maybe its just a gay problem.
NO, it's a gays in the military problem. Here is the show piece example that has been brought up before: What if the pervert is an NCO in charge of others; an officer, who has much power in any case? Well??
You see, somehow you have deceived yourself into thinking that the field is level, it is NOT. There are folks with real power over others, and, being perverted only exacerbates the situation. NOT ACCEPTABLE. Hang the b*****d, I'm not interested in "understanding" the idiot, just put him away so that he will not destroy others. Period.
Being "gay" is a mental disorder. Please convince me that it is "normal", not in my lifetime! Mental disorders disqualify one from service in the Armed Forces--Sec. 8 is still valid.
