I mean I know there are many other jobs besides infantry, which I was, but still, doesnt gay come with "love everybody peace to all", fagity mentality?

For the same reason straight people want to join.  No, gay does not "come with love everybody peace to all fagity mentality".

Why do YOU care specifically?  Although I'm not gay, I really don't care who is.  I have better things to think about, like world peace, pollution and hungry people in the streets.

Well I am sorry it makes you sick.  Not everything or every one is the way we all would like.  Some what disappointing I know.  As for WHY would someone like to be gay? I will tell you something.  I am happy with my lifestyle now. I am happy with the woman I am with.  But there was a period where I wasn't so sure.  Why you wonder.  Because my mother disowned me because of it.  My father bought books to see if they had the answers, maybe he did something wrong.  Or my personal favorite what my high school finding out and my teacher telling me I shouldn't eat with the other kids because it bothers them. \nDoes this sound like something we CHOSE?  Does this sound like something we ASKED for?  \nWe are stronger for the things we go through, doesnt mean we ask for the turmoil along the way.

I am not gay and I do not put down gay people.  But I do read the messages so I will get a better understanding and learn more about your choices.\n\nI hope that doesn't bother anyone

I'd wonder what was wrong with his own country that he feels the need to serve another one in the military.  Then I'd wonder if he had a incorrect view of this country's military.  It isn't all glamorous like the commercials say, and there is certainly nothing wrong with serving your own country honorably.

Yes. If it really caused so many problems all of Europe and Israel would have no militaries at all as they have no laws against it.\n\nAnd it's a moot point - there are and always will be gays and lesbians in the service. It's just a matter of whether or not you're allowing people to be truthful. \n\nIf someone wants to serve their country they should be commended - not told that who they sleep with makes them a second class citizen.

Yes many gays find love and devote themselves to one another. Have you seen on the news how many gays wanted to get gay marriage legalized.

I'm straight but I have alot of gay friends.  I like to answer questions in this category for three reasons:  1) the questions are usually more interesting than in alot of other categories, 2) to show my support and 3) I like to try to give helpful advice particularly to young gay people who are struggling.  I have a theory about these "heteros" who constantly bash, harass and make disparaging remarks about gay people.  To me the ones that scream the loudest in their opposition to homosexuality are either religious zealots or self-loathing, paranoid closet queens.  Most straight people, even ones uncomfortable with homosexuality, don't make such a big deal about it.

Why should anyone care who loves who?  \nIt's my guess that most homophobes are repressed closet gays.  What other reason would they have for overreacting to something that doesn't concern them?\nGays want to be married so they can get the same benefits like health insurance as other families get.  \nWho is anyone to tell someone else that who they love is wrong? \nOther than deluded bible thumpers that is. \nI take it as a compliment if a lesbian makes a pass at me.  It's always nice to know when someone finds you to be desirable. \nWhat does that hurt?  NOTHING!!!\nPeople who dwell with hatred on what other people do need to get a life and do something more constructive with their time.

People just need to be more tolerant. If being gay is against YOUR religion, don't be gay. But leave everyone else alone. Besides, I have never met a hostile gay person, they don't bother anyone else.

That's not true! They just love it for entertaining people but even those entertainers are not gays, that's just their job to entertain people. Go to my country and you will know.

This is completely asinine!  It's absolutely disrespectful of the families, and completely uncalled for.  Homosexuality isn't tolerated at all in either of the two societies that are at war and to imply that it is, is nothing more than hate-mongering.  To do it at a funeral, especially a soldiers funeral, is asinine.

As a straight man and a happy divorcee...if one wants to subject themselves to the "joys" of marriage I say, "Have at it!"\n\nBiggest scam going, marriage. Suckers lined up around the corner to drop serious coin on a superstitious cermony that is absolutely meaningless. So if gays want to join in the fleecing, go right ahead. \n\nOn a side note, being ex-military, I also believe that if gays or women or Martians want to pack around a rifle, get yelled at by the ignorant, and run the risk of being filled with holes, we should allow that. Forget that, "Don't ask, Don't tell" garbage. If you're man (or woman) enough to risk your literal (or proverbial) sack in combat you deserve to get your wish. I could care less about who you decide to sleep with when the day is done.

Yes Homosexuals are discharged if it comes to light that they are gay serving in the military. "Don't ask don't tell policy", from the Clinton area. Historically speaking gays have been apart of every military action, in every civilization. There are some cases in which superior officers have put known gays in the US military on the front line or a very dangerous situation; knowing that they will be killed. Even worse they'll let them stay until peace time and then while on stateside have them discharged without honor.

i certainly don't know about every gay guy, but i went through that and so did some of my gay guy friends. the thing is that gay men feel a special bond with straight girls and there is the whole thing of wanting to be "normal". almost every gay guy goes through a phase in their lives where they are just sick and tired of being tormented and ridiculed for being gay and they just would like to be "normal", whatever that is. so don't be hard on him. it does hurt the girls sometimes and that is not good but the gay guy is hurting too.TTFN.

ok spud, its not just 'gay' people.  it's people in general.\n\nyears ago i was an unhappy Baptist.  being baptist just wasn't doing it for me and i had been born and raised in that faith.\n\na lot of the baptists i knew were mean spirited and hateful. they also had the "we're the only ones going to heaven" attitude.  i began looking for another faith.  that is a HARD thing to do, believe me.\n\ni worked in a pharmacy where one of the employees was obnoxious about his protestant faith.  if you asked him how he was he'd say "He was fine ever since he became a Christian." if you asked him what he knew he'd say "I know I'm saved."  and on and on and on.  there were also a couple of Catholics that worked in the pharmacy.  when steve the protestant was telling people why they were going to hell the Catholics never were mean or hateful to anyone. they accepted everyone, it seemed.  they accepted me---even though i didn't know what i was and they accepted steve even when he was telling them they worshipped statues.\n\ni thought to myself, there has got to be something to what these people believe, i want whatever that is for myself.\n\ni asked them how i could learn more about the Catholic Church and they told me about classes that were given at the local parish.  i went and talked to the priest and he signed me right up.  six months of classes later, i knew i'd found what i was looking for.  i joined the Catholic Church way back in 1980 and its been an important part of my life ever since.\n\nso---i don't think its just gays.  Catholics seem to be tolerant of just about everybody.  And that's a good thing.
