If sexual orientation is protected from discrimination, then why doesn't it extend to our military?


Does anyone know?

the situation will reverse with a DADT for those who disapprove of gays. They will now be the ones who must adapt, remain silent, or leave.

You ignore the fact that several other nations made this change years ago. What makes America different such that we cannot handle it?


Not everyone cares what several other nations have changed.

I'm wondering if you could answer her question, rather than start with the "why not leave" stuff, because I'm really interested in your thoughts about it.

Where did I say that the US could not handle it?

I've been trying to ascertain your view (hence my questions as to what you think they'd do other than adapt or move on).


I think that I misunderstood your "when pigs fly" comment :)

I'll elaborate a bit more for you.

Even if they could, I don't think it would work out well, no.

~When they signed the contract to join, they were not doing so with the agreement that they would be serving alongside gays.~


DADT doesn't actually prohibit gay military personnel from "serving alongside" them in the first place.
