I can understand an infantry or armor unit not allowing homosexuals within their ranks. Whether they are gay or sad seems arbitrary. However, I do not understand why it is of any importance if office rats are homosexuals. Is this any more disruptive than male and female office rats being attracted to one another?

This gets into the whole discussion of "don't ask - don't tell".

Somehow the behavior of these former analysts became known and was considered to be disruptive to a productive work atmosphere. Sort of like adultery is - and is a non-gay issue.

A separate thread on FR yesterday mentioned a coach who benched his entire first string football team (including his son) in an important game for violating an alcohol policy they had signed before the season. The players were sobered up probably by game time - why would this coach want his rules enforced?

To compare right behavior with wrong behavior is ludicrous and disordered. Let’s see how it works with other paraphilic pathologies, shall we?

Is this any more disruptive than male mother and female adult son office rats being attracted to one another?

Is this any more disruptive than male man and female sheep office rats being attracted to one another?

Is this any more disruptive than male man and female consenting 12 year old office rats being attracted to one another?

Yep, it works every time.

My Daughter was a Persian Linguist. They don't all hang out in offices, the back to back tours to Saudi Arabia made her get out. These Linguists serve in AWACS aircraft, in forward deployed units as well as windowless offices. Bottom line is you sux, you shouldn't serve.
