From reading your post, I conclude you are fine with with the normalization, glorification and proselytization of homosexuality in all aspects of society, especially in the military. That’s okay for you.
I am not for it, so yeah. It is my “hang up”. I don’t care if someone is a homosexual, that is their business. I deal with them on a personal and professional level and it isn’t my issue, so I don’t care. I treat them as a person if they treat me as such. It isn’t my business. However, when someone tries to mainstream homosexuality, works to have laws changed to put a homosexual relationship on the same legal, societal and religious footing as a relationship between a man and a woman, and treats it like a civil rights issue instead of the sexual peccadillo it is, you are right I have an issue with it.
The fact that Harvey Milk served in the Navy or any armed forces has absolutely nothing at all to do with it. Nothing. As you said, lots of people have and are. John Kerry served in the Navy and should have been imprisoned, if not worse. His prior service has nothing to do with it.
What angers me is the deliberate use of this type of tactic as a cudgel by the left to destroy the military and society as we know it, and change it into a fever swamp of moral relativism where everything goes and nobody has the right to judge anyone else on their conduct, morality, or behavior.
You don’t think it matters, is no big deal. I think that attitude is what has brought this country to where we are.
By the way, I apologize for coming back on your post so uncivilly. I am still pretty heated up about this, because this stuff matters to me. I know to a lot of people it is no big deal, but this is just the way I roll.
And thank you for your service.
