Would gays be bunked with the rest of the troops? If so, wouldn't this be the equivalent of assigning females and males to the same room? It's seems that if gays were allowed to openly join the military, they would need to be segregated from the rest of the troops. Segregation, I don't think so. What would be the solution to this problem?
Yes..you nailed the crux of the problem. Most places the military deploys(ships and overseas tent/conex cities) have limited space/resources for seperate homo berthing.
The solution would be to let the homos serve, but not in a deployable capacity. The heteros would suck up all the deployments to satisfy this pressing human rights travesty.
I think segregation like male/female segregation is an excellent idea. That way they can still serve their countries. Fact is they're there. They've been there since ancient times. They're not going to go away, no matter how many times they get punched on the nose. So perhaps it's time to evolve out of the denial and deal with the problem.
