I know I’m setting myself up for angry attacks by expressing this opinion, but I’m going to express it anyway:
I believe that gender does matter. I believe that gay men in the military are a direct threat to the moral of the military, in a way that gay women are not.
As a guy who has prosecuted dozens of homosexuals for abhorrent conduct directly related to their homosexuality, I can promise you that a substantial percentage of those prosecutions were for lesbians.
The morale & discipline problems found in the homosexual female ranks are just as pronounced, just as corrosive and just as undermine to good order as those problems found in their male counterparts. Open homosexuality in the ranks will be just as damaging to the military when practiced by either men or women.
I pinged an article not long ago that included part of an interview with a woman who (now this part I can’t remember) was still, or had been, in the Army. She described the female homosexuals as causing a great deal of trouble for the normal women. It’s a problem.
Gay women threaten and bully other women. That is definitely a problem for the straight women in the military, many of whom play critical roles in the current conflicts.
