- Then why do we have seperate locker rooms for men and women ? I think
- the reason for seperate locker rooms probably has more to do with
- how comfortable one could be taking a shower with some stranger
- of the opposite sex. I think the same discomfort, if not a more unfair
- one would accompany hetrosexual males being forced to take showers
- with homosexual men.
-
- Aside from the above, my only true objection to gays in the military
- is that I think a lot more thought needs to be given to the consequences.
- And if the decision is made to lift the ban, it should be done slowly
- (i.e. like only allowing gays to hold certian billets that allow them
- to live in off-base housing). Before gays can be fully accepted in the
- military, homosexuality must be better accepted by society first.
