Will admitting open gays in the military cause problems?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) December 18th, 2010

I don’t see anything wrong with open gays in the military…I know a few people who are really upset about this. I don’t see what the problem is? First of all, there are already many gays in the military that they are working beside. I know that they’re probably bothered by the fact that they KNOW that person is gay, but what difference does it make as long as they focus on the job? It’s discrimination if you refuse to work with that person…

Also, if even with “don’t ask, don’t tell”...there are plenty of gays in the military. Even though they don’t come out and say it, some don’t really hide the fact that they aren’t gay and everyone knows it. Rumors start. I actually know a few people in the military that are gay, and people speculate that they are (which they’re right lol).

I dont’ think it will cause issues but the bigots WILL cause problems. I can see harassment going on, fear of working with that person, etc.

People need to grow up.

Guy on Facebook “WTF!!!!!!! Thanks government for letting openly gay people in the military… please tell me this is a Fucking joke…Well all I can say is that the military will no longer be what it is now when those fucks start rolling in .”

I hate bigots!
