They (the soldiers) are not inflicting their sexual preferences upon other soldiers simply by being allowed to join. If they actually did that in the form of a pass they would be dealt with in the same way a man would who imposed himself on a woman. Additionally being ex military and having at least a general knowledge of how the guys minds work, I think the heteros have their own very effective way of dealing with gays who decide to “impose” their sexual practices on those not interested.They are a tiny minority of the population and, I think an even smaller percentage of the military.
It’s all much ado about nothing and the Rep are correct in just letting it play out and having the voters decide themselves if this is the way to go.
The silence you heard from the right was not a shocked one since it was no secret nor was it a surprise when this was announced in the SOTU.
