Homosexuals are not "just like everybody else" and male homosexuals in particular have a unique obsession for multiple "partners" and bizarre behavior. The linkages among male homsexuals transcend unit, rank, service loyalties and undercut any order or discipline. I had an investigation once where we were trying to find out why a sailor was hospitalized and all of his records - in several separate locations - were removed to obstruct the investigation by his "partners" all over the Norfolk and Little Creek area.
If our leadership has any remaining guts, they need to oppose this move with all the strength they have.
The object of having our armed forces is to be able to effectively battle our enemies, not provide a dating pool for deviants.

Yes, let’s return to one part of the discussion, the restrooms. I think it’s commonly accepted that one may visit the restroom without being the subject of sexual attention (or is this open to some kind of debate?). So, with openly gay men we have two choices. Either segregated restrooms, or not. If segregated, well we all know the “Larry Sinclair” reputation “gay” restrooms possess. If not segregated, well the issues are obvious.
As for sleeping quarters, well I think the issues there are obvious as well. “Bobby, isn’t it great that we’re both openly gay and in the same unit? Let’s cuddle!” Yeesh.
“You can’t handle the truth!” Hmmm, might have to catch that movie again.
