No, I'm pretty sure the topic starter intended it to be about rights in general. It's just a broader topic.

I think if they want to fight, they should be allowed to, just like anyone else. Good for them if they do, because I sure don't want to.

I like how nobody posts in this forum anymore.

Alright, to humor erikvarho, here's my opinion.

If someone wants to join the army, that's one person closer to not having drafts! I say let in the gays, the immigrants, that wierd guy down the street!

That, and I believe that gays should not be discriminated against in any way.

And erikvarho, just post a topic and I'll be glad to discuss it with you. You're always fun to argue/talk with.:o

i agree, if they want to join we should let them. we shouldn't discriminate because of their sexual orientation. shower facilities and such might be a bit awkward, i dunno, but they are people too

heh i agree. Its fucking America...just cus u have feelings for the same sex doesnt mean you have to be hated on...we supposed to accept and move on. Even though i'm not christian, i'm sure Jesus tells you to accept the nieghbor.

i totally agree. you shouldnt be told you cant fight for your freedom and everyone elses just for the fact that you're gay. i support our troops whole-heartedly and if they want to put their life on the line for me, then let them. and yes, you are supposed to accept your neighbor, even tho a lot of people are hypocrites in that respect.

It just drives me mad when people act annoying about acceptance. I got a few friends who are gay/bi/lesbian and they're perfectly alright...totally nice people to hang out with. Theres nothing wrong with the fact that you have feelings for someone of the same sex. We all do

Hard to say. Think about it, really. I'm against discrimination, but I know that it would be really awkward to be showering near someone who could have a non-mutual attraction to you. Also, from the military perspective, division is bad in combat. Our troops have to defend the motherland and kill civilians, they can't be worrying about their squadmate's sexual orientation. Still, yes, one more person between me and joining up.
