Gay's in the army now...

I met somebody, an Army, last year in a community activity. He's happily gay. I didn't believe it at first until I met one of his officers and confirmed it. He said that he just wanted to find out if he can make it through the rigorous training. At the same time he also wanted to make a statement. We've become friends and still communicate often. What do you think of gay's in the military service? Are you okay with it?

Hi diutay, There is nothing wrong with Gays in the military services, they can do the job just as good as straight people it is just who they prefer to be their partners and nothing to do with what job they have. Men and women can do the same jobs so what the diffrence? I don't have a problem wit it. Good for him. Tamara

I am a veteran and am fine with this. The military is a JOB! It is not appropriate to bring the personal life to work, any more than it is good to bring work home. Gay people are in the military to WORK! Let them be in and do their jobs. Their bedroom stuff is no one else's business. If it does not interfere with their JOB..who cares? (Yawn! Not me.) And I feel the same about straight people. Work is work. Home is home. NO ONE should be letting their problems at home interfer with their work. Otherwise, no problemo. The truth and simple fact is, whether we delude our selves into denying it or not, that there have always been gay people in the military. It's no one's business. As long as they do their mission and never sexually harrass anyone..we could use thier professional help. In the military, they train as soldiers and we need them to do what they are trained for. The rest can stay in their home.
