I agree 100% That is exactly why I oppose gays serving in the military. Letting a gay man sleep in a room with 80-100 straight men is exactly the same as letting a straight man sleep in a room with 80-100 straight women.

Come on .. might as well take a teenage boy and place him in a girl scout sleep over.
The girl scouts were one of the best things about scouting. You could usually sneak from your camp to theirs...

How can you pull its federal funding for exercising its constitutional rights?

I can keep it in my pants, so the women should be just fine with me sleeping there? They should not be bothered by me showering with them, or watching them dress or anything else? That is your position?

The only people who make this argument are the ones who COULDN'T help themselves if put with 80-100 women.
If you can't keep it in your pants, that is YOUR problem. NOT gays.
Would you want boys and girls sleeping together? No.. no you wouldn't. Would you want your boy sleeping with a boy who likes to have sex with .. boys? No .. because it's the same thing.

I understand that a little gay scout isn’t going to be forcing himself on other boys (at least I hope not) but it’s the fact that you’re basically leaving your children to sleep unsupervised with what amounts to ‘the opposite sex’ and that, as a parent, is unacceptable at that age.
Have you ever served in the military? Rhetorical question. Your statement shows me that you haven't. There are no private showers on board ship, or in boot camp for example. Privacy is basically non-existent. Go buy yourself a clue.

So we went from "sleep in the same room" to showering with them? Big leep there, no?
Do you have a daughter? Would you be okay with your teenaged daughter sleeping in the same tent with a teenaged boy even if he promised not to try anything?

So, just because a gay boy CAN have sex with a straight boy, he's going to do it?
You people must have sex, sex, sex on the mind at all times.
Or think that ALL men are sex crazed [SNIP]?

Please watch the episode before make assumptions about it.
It does show proof of the discrimination and who is doing and the public funding.

Thus a room full of women should be ok showering with me? They should not be allowed to be offended at my presence as long as I don't touch them? Yeah, right.

I've also heard from those IN the military that it is no big deal as a shower scene in boot camp is far from a shower scene in prison.

The original air date of the episode was April 3rd, 2006.
So it's relatively recent.
It also stresses that this discrimination is a fairly new phenomenon and ahs only been around for a few decades.
If something is receiving public funding, it should not discriminate because in public there is no right to privacy.
Wiki
Boy Scouts of America et al. v. Dale, 530 U.S. 640 (2000), was a case of the Supreme Court of the United States decided on June 28, 2000, that held that the constitutional right to freedom of association allows a private organization like the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to exclude a person from membership when "the presence of that person affects in a significant way the group's ability to advocate public or private viewpoints."[1] The Supreme Court ruled that opposition to homosexuality is part of BSA's "expressive message" and that allowing homosexuals as adult leaders would interfere with that message.
