Shortly after 5 p.m. Dallas time, local SLDN board member Dave Gainer forwarded me this update from Aubrey Sarvis, executive director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network:
ALL,
We are hearing repeal vote may come in SASC [Senate Armed Services Committee] within the hour, the amendment has been laid down; it will not be OPEN to the public. And in the House, we hear from Patrick [sponsor Patrick Murphy] that the House vote could also come within the hour! Tune in if you are not already at your posts watching and listening.

My views on homosexuals being allowed to serve openly is not entirely biblical, but practical. My view my even be considered moral. I do not agree that homosexuals should be allowed to be housed among male or female soldiers, because of current fraternization among homosexuals. Soldiers that are homosexuals male and female are currently allowed to be placed in the same barracks of their God given gender. This allows for a homosexual soldier in the military to fraternize with soldiers during showering, sleeping, & dressing. Fraternization is a privilege that’s not given to heterosexual soldiers especially in training. Fraternization is considered to be an unprofessional act that impedes the soldiers ability to protect their nation. Since soldiers are made to house with each other for months without sexual contact in basic training. It isnt practical to be openly attracted to the same gender. Or admit you are sexually attracted to people they will house you with when being recruited. I believe if one starts to open up their sexual preferences toward the same gender it will lead to more sexual contact in the military barracks. Since Don’t TELL, Don’t ASK was implemented current misconduct of homosexual soldiers in the barracks is ignored. Also knowing that soldiers are having sexual contact in the barracks is uncomfortable for a heterosexual soldier, that has to hear homosexual soldiers smacking on genitals in the barracks, as they go hungry, or without sexual contact from the opposite gender for months. Simply if one says they are homosexual they become unhousable in the barracks. You can not place a homosexual female with females, she will fraternize. You can not place a homosexual female among men, she will be rapped by large men in training. If you place a homosexual in private housing, then you are providing special privileges that’s not given to heterosexual soldiers. Now lets go into the bible about it. The bible states “ Its an abomination”. Straight soldiers say “Its unfair!“ I believe the desire isnt to remove homosexuals, but to stop sexual contact (fraternization) or sexual harassment. If the military isnt going to change the way it trains its soldiers, then GAYS still shouldn’t be allowed to be open in the military about who they desire to make sexual contact with. The military is a job and in any working environment it has to be safe and free of sexual harassment to the best of the employers ability. The military had attempted to make its working environment safer with Don’t ASK, Don’t TELL, and Don’t ACT like it AKA “DADT”. The question is can the military implement open gays in the military without changing the military barracks. Where soldiers shower, sleep, and dress with each other?
Are you going to copy and paste that everywhere? You worthless troll.
Allowing gay and lesbian soldiers to serve openly means being allowed to say you are gay. It does not change any rules and regulations about having sex in the barracks.
And the only people so obsessed with what goes on in the showers and write long tirades about it are people who are not comfortable with their own sexuality.
Yes, I am going to paste it every where Mike. And David Im comfortable with my sexuality. Thank you for reading my tirade.
