- Some people are so silly. They say that gays should not be allowed in
- the military because the heterosexuals will think that they'll get funny
- looks from other guys while in the shower. Thus, they are saying that
- the problem is with the gay person.
-
- It is not. The problem is with the heterosexual man who *thinks* he's
- getting funny looks. Those who think that gay men are attracted to
- anything that moves are prejudiced, just like people were (are)
- prejudiced against blacks, asians, and the like.
-
- People have to face the fact that gay people are not animals, and there
- are currently thousands of homosexuals in the military who perform very
- well. Hell, they even take showers, and I bet that they don't go around
- giving funny looks. It's time for America to mature, and not to respond
- to such issues in such a childlike manner.
