You are arguing speach instead of the issue. Yes if I was looking in on the female shower at a military base I am certain at least one would be attractive enough to arouse me. It is a matter of taking the "possibility" out of the equation. It has nothing to do with lessening of one sexual prefference's rights. It is about protecting rights of those who do not want to have the "possibility" of some one seeing them naked and being arroused or interested.

What is the issue again?

I'm sure that 'Timmy the uphill gardener' and others would be able to hold themselves from cracking a fat in the shower room, or are they bad people who don't have their libido in check?

To my mind this is a non-issue and speaks more about those that want to segregate than anything else....but then we know the army is full of backwards miscreants who only follow orders and have no critical thinking (see, I can make sweeping generalisations too).

So you think the poor wee people in the shower need protecting from the deviant homosexual gawkers and perverts?

That would be "open homosexuality" in the military and its legalities. I for one do not feel that they should keep any sexual prefference out of the military, just organize it to make everyone comfortable. This must be done though without restricting any freedoms.

See you are taking offense to the idea that others can be or percieve to be violated by some one who may find them attractive just by looking at them. It is protection of those who do not want to be voyuerized so to speak. It is nothing against homosexuals. It is only need to protect sexual privacy in a way.

That Obama is a piece of work. He has managed to get every gay person in America to vote for him, because they thought he would set them up to be equal and now he has not done a thing for a one of them. I bet they feel a bit stupid now.

If they do this to open Homosexuals/Lesbians in the Military, where will it stop?

If its one rule for some then it should apply to all. If they segregate Homosexuals/Lesbians in seperate barracks, then you would have people from different religions put in segregated barracks, same with people who are white, black, mexican etc. Would cause more problems than solutions would it not.

As for Obama well there you go, Promises much, but does not act on the policies he promised before he was elected President.

Acceptance of religion is alot different then sexual orientation. You can accept a religion and it not affect your mental health. To feel as if you may be getting violated in a sexual manner will affect your mental health. You cannot compare tolerance and acceptance of religion to demeaning of sexual privacy.

How silly. Obviously the gay service men and women are already sharing barracks (and showers) with heterosexuals and are able to keep their raging, uncontrolable horomones in check. You know, gays do have the same impulse control mechanisms in place as everyone else, right?
