I honestly don't understand how far they mean to take this.

This bill needs to be killed. Then your question will not have to be addressed.

Can some one explain why homo-sexuals wish to flaunt their sexual preference openly in the military? They can serve now so long as they don’t tell.

As for serving with hetero-sexuals, men and women serve together now, and it has not hurt the military, because if it was hurting it would have been banned.

So why would a openly gay soldier be any worse? Inquiring minds want to know.

Flake leans libertarian.

It’s a new special interest group, with government backing for their protection from discrimination....perceived or real.

IIRC, Jeff Flake is gay.

“Well, with Diaz-Balart and Ros-Lehtinen, I’ve learned that Cubans are apparently big homosexual supporters.”

I don’t know about that, but I suspect these votes have something to do with the districts they represent...both in FL.

I’d support the idea of California as a State sliding into the sea. Democratic /”progressive” queer politics has destroyed the State to where a Patriotic Christian can’t even enjoy a walk on the beach there anymore.

Bono-Mack's vote makes sense. There are lots of gays in Palm Springs which she represents.

For at least six years, David Dreier has been dogged by claims from activists and political opponents that he's a gay man.

I do wonder about David Dreier. Have heard rumors he might be gay.

... comeon, just cause Davie is a hot item with his “chief of staff” (what a cute nickname!) doesn’t necessarily mean he’s ahhhh, gay ya know? Just needs to relax once in a while by going on an overseas trip to “factfind” with his #1 staffer!

ymmv

Faulty logic.

So why would a openly gay soldier be any worse? Inquiring minds want to know.

If you have to ask that question, I can't help you. Have you ever been in the military? I'm betting not.

You just lost the bet. I only served 2 years as a draftee but my brother is a career military and my grandfather was also.

N00b, these are sexual degenerates, not gay.That you lack the moral fiber to even recognize the degeneracy that is under debate says a lot about your missing moral compass. The military is one of the last institutions of this Republic which operated on a standard of moral conduct. Apparently, you not only do not recognize that afct but if you acknolwedge it you do not like that it was that way so you’re just fine with degenerating the force to fit the sick degeneracy of the political progressives who also find morality distasteful. You’re disgusting

If you were in the miltary, you should know that homosexuality is very bad for morale and presents numerous problems. Have you heard of Bradley Manning?

You opined for us: "They can serve now so long as they don’t tell." Yes, that is where the flaw arises. In a force where integrity is so vital to honor, how is it that you would endorse someone serving in that force so long as they can maintain their degeneracy unexposed? Do you not comprehend that living a lie is what makes these degenerates such a danger? Look at the little queer who stole the files being posted on wikileaks. Why bring another risk factor into a force where honor is bolstered by the integrity of the soldiers, rather than the ability to live a lie like being a sexual degenerate but keeping it secret to fool everyone around you? Disgusting

That was not my opinion, I was merely stating the law as it exists, passed by the US Congress and signed in by the president. I hope you are intelligent enough to comprehend the difference between opinion and stating existing fact.

Personally, I detest homo-sexuality, and never understood it. Again, the issue before the congress is REPEAL of DADT. That turncoat who leaked to wikileaks and his types are free to join the military as IT EXISTS NOW. Obviously the military has no problem with discreet homo-sexuals.

My post was mainly to question why the homo’s want to come out of the closet in military. Don’t they understand it will subject them to ridicule and worse, harassment.

Finally, I have come across many news items of sexual harassment of female soldiers by straight male soldiers. If the military can tolerate that on what basis can the military say that repeal of DADT will be any worse?

I spent most of my service time in service as a driver in Saigon during the war. Never had a problem with any homo-sexuals. I seriously did not know who was and was not a closet gay soldier.

The difference between you and me is when I was drafted I did not run away to Canada. I bet you have never served.

I do not even believe you, after reading this idiocy:
"Obviously the military has no problem with discreet homo-sexuals."

You don't understand the basis of the oaths our military personnel swear. DADT was never embraced by the force as credible for honor. It was fabricated by those who hate the integrity of the force and sought to degrade it. You have no clue regarding integrity which supports a service person's honor. The military does not endorse lying to everyone around you. It is a major corrosive behavior to discipline and ultimately an enmy to cohesion of a force.

Don't ping me to any further of your deceits. You have no credibility now that your twisted perspective is exposed.

That's right, you stupid tool. The risk of being found out kept them discrete so they were few problems. Repeal DADT and they will no longer have ANY fear of flaunting it! In fact, they'll flaunt it, secure in the knowledge that any soldier who objects will be found to be intolerant and discharged!

Are you REALLY that stupid that you don't see that???
