If they wanted to create a modern “black sheep squadron” of gays and don’t-cares, I’d hold my nose but say go ahead and do it if you must. It’s when they are mixed with those who are definitely not don’t-cares that the trouble happens. You have de facto sexual harassment of the straights.
Interesting -- sort of like "prove yourself to us before we accept you", much like what was done with the Tuskegee Airmen and others. Not a half bad idea -- not an easy route, but a real one that would earn respect.
