Really? No one else with military experience has posted in this thread? Fascinating.
My point was that I didn't hear their point of view on my argument. If they stated something, I overlooked it or I just don't remember it.
Really? You don't remember responding to bijou just a few minutes ago? Good lord.
If I'm not mistaken, he is currently NOT in the military, but used to be and probably entered before DADT was implemented. He's speaking from a whole other generation. I'm not talking about what people THOUGHT, but what people are thinking NOW. Unless he's still interacting with military, i.e. GS employer, he's now a civilian.
If we were talking about then, I'm sure more of the military was way more intolerable then they are now, along with the rest of the nation.

Why would straight women be any less freaked out about showering with lesbians than straight men are about showering with gay men? If that is indeed the standard we're using, which seems a bit thin.
Women are typically more comfortable with women, regardless of sexuality, than with men in those scenarios. Men are typically more comfortable with women, regardless of sexuality, than with men in those same scenarios. So that's why a lesbian typically doesn't phase a heterosexual man or woman.

Wait so there are no gay women? or do gay men suddenly cause you to sprout a ****** and breasts because they are around you?
In any case, I never said that they were sex crazed. I said that they are no different than heterosexual men. I don't know a single heterosexual man that wouldn't look a woman that he's attracted to in the shower. So unless you're arguing that homosexual men are a "special" breed of men, then they would do the same thing. If you claim that they are indeed somehow different, then they should be treated differently.
So which one is it?
