There are quite a few sources which detail that the effectiveness of militaries that allow openly gay people to serve has not been diminished:

“There are quite a few sources which detail that the effectiveness of militaries that allow openly gay people to serve has not been diminished:”

You have listed a) an opinion piece and b) “research” from a gay advocacy group...

Here is what Palm says about itself:

“For the past decade, the Palm Center’s research on sexual minorities in the military has been published in leading social scientific journals.”

I’ve been in the military and I’ve seen first hand that:

1) most gays are outed due to their inability to perform infantry functions
2) once outed they are shown the door by de facto tradition
3) if they fool people and make leadership positions, they often make emotional prissy decisions which lead to the homosexual losing credibility. The small squad loses unit cohesion and it fails to perform well, leading to failure of the homo leader.

Take your homo agenda of perversion and stuff it up your libertine glory area. You care about your own selfish agenda and not about the effectiveness of our professional military.
