[QUOTE="Resilient, post: 2015888, member: 730039"] I haven't really picked a side. But there is one thing I have a problem with. All the advocates saying they want gays in the military, the gay community saying they should have the right. But, I haven't heard a gay or lesbian say they want to join. All te marches for the rights but no one standing up saying I want to join. I think people are forgetting the mindset of the military. For so long it's been only open to white males, now they let in other races and finally they let females in. They treat everyone the same and those groups have accepted it. Gays (most but not all) would cry discrimination at BCTor bootcamp when the Drill Sargent gives them a nickname. I think gays should be able to join when 80% of the non-military community accepts the GLBT community. Also, when there are laws giving them rights. The military shouldn't be the first thing change, it should be last. [/QUOTE]
