Understand you might have concerns but if this is true did you really think of your actions. You might well end up in jail surrounded by a load of gays yourself! Also did you have any proof this happened???
I am not saying this is an easy issue and that when guys could spend a lot of time in close confinement and how I would deal with it, but I would rather not know if they were gay.
There was another good post about women in the military and one of the issues is the amount of press coverage it gets when in woman is killed in action about 10 times more than a guy?
I cannot believe what I am reading on here.
I cannot believe that you are talking in this way about gay personnel as though they are pieces of crap.
What kind of person let's someone get beaten up because of their sexuality?
And what kind of person assumes that because a man is gay he will automatically touch up every other man he comes accross?
The word 'Immature' doesn't even cover it.
And WHY is being gay seen as a 'problem'? What planet are you living on. Get in the real world before you are left behind. You are full of hatred and have a total lack of understanding because YOU DON'T WANT to understand and it shows clearly in your posts
Agreed and trust comes from knowing eachother and getting to know people, Something that sexuality has no relevance in. Ethnic/Origin/Sexual Orientation/Gender is IRRELEVENT to the job. As long as you can do the job you need to do, nothing else should ever matter.

As you are more than aware trust is built from many things, As a serving soldier my trust in someone is built more on wether they are able to do "The Job" and how good a soldier they are, I can honestly say I have never questioned my confidence or trust in someone to be there when the brown stuff hits the fan on the basis of there gender/race/sexuality.
There are few GAY SOLDIERS in the modern army but many soldiers who happen to be gay ( Me included)
What someone does in there private life is up to them.
If I had a mate who told me he was Gay, I wouldnt bat an eye lid, I really dont care.
I also dont care what religion you are, what colour you are, or what football team you support.
What I do object to is when it becomes an excuse for incompetence/Laziness/stupidity or if its used to try and scramble up the ladder without putting the work in.
Why should it be a big thing, Statistically one of my mates is probably gay, and I really dont care.
There is no need to bring it up at all as far as I can see.
Courage which goes against military expediency is stupidity, or, if it is insisted upon by a commander, irresponsibility."

MSI64, i am in total agreement. Gender/Race/Sexuality/Religion is all irrelevant to me. Ability however is. And i do NOT condone people who try and use their 'difference' to further their career. Ability should be at the forefront of every promotion consideration.
