Reply #4: There were thousands of gay men in the military during WWII. [View All]

No one much gave a fuck when we were fighting Hitler and the Japanese. But after the war, all of a sudden, the gays were a threat to their comrades-in-arms for the first time ever.

In fact, that's how The Castro in San Francisco got its start. That's where gay sailors and soldiers (mostly sailors) were offloaded for being gay. It's pretty fucked up that this is still even an issue seventy years later. Someone once said something about atheists in foxholes. Fuck that. I guarantee you that nobody ever asked the guy next to him in a so-called foxhole if he liked cock or pussy.

My brother is an Army Reservist, and one of the guys in his unit, Dave, got into it with some Neanderthal at a bar once. After beating his ass, Dave said, "How does it feel to know that you got your ass kicked by a faggot?" The wrong person overheard him say that, and that was the unceremonious end of his military career. Mind you, this guy had been to Iraq twice and from what I saw was universally admired by the guys in his unit. But God forbid that he likes guys instead of women or nobody instead...

doc03, you know this, and so does anyone who's ex-military and not bigoted. The idea that anyone in the military cares who you fuck is a farce, plain and simple.
