The military separates males and females to prevent sexual interaction. There is no way to separate homosexuals, however unwanted sexual abuse, harassment, and the discomfort of being forced to witness sexual interaction in a barracks situation is bound to be a problem.
We have already been hearing stories of straight women being sexually harassed and threatened by lesbians in their barracks, and the refusal of the CO to monitor the situation because the problems regarding DADT.
Now that DADT is not a factor, will the gays be prosecuted for sexual harassment, abuse,or bullying the way a man who threatened rape would be? (That was what happened in one report. A lesbian in her unit was bullying her and threatened to rape her if she reported it)
Just my opinion, but the Dems made a huge mistake by repealing DADT and not the UCMJ section that prohibits homosexual activity. Here’s hoping that the new Congress will let the military leaders know in no uncertain terms that it will NOT tolerate the sexual harassment of heterosexual males and females by gays and lesbians, and that any such sexual harassment will be dealt with by a court martial with an accompanying bad conduct discharge with forfeiture of benefits upon conviction.
