The History Guy deserves to be as well-known as Bill Nye. His videos are uniformly excellent and always interesting. He's earned every single one of his subscribers.

No.


I think the only way I could see this as partially correct is because when I was in the Navy, it wasn't secret who was gay and it didn't matter one bit. Of course you will get some homophobic people, just as there some racist people too - you can't avoid that when you are accepting people from across a large, diverse nation. Of course, some people are just assholes too.

But I'm looking at this from the viewpoint of a straight man who had/has a couple gay friends. It might be different if I was gay. In fact, now I am remembering one guy that got drunk and had sex with another man in the parking lot when we were pulled into a port (I think San Diego?) If it was a man and a women, they would have been officially reprimanded and life went on, but both of the men were kicked out of the military. That was fucked up.

Everyone's different, but some people still want to force their beliefs onto other peoples' actions. As long as those actions are involving consenting adults, I don't care what they do.

I seem to have went off on a tangent. My point is either you are being sarcastic or haven't been in the military. All this does is make the unofficial official and remove a layer of protection for people acting like assholes towards one particular group.

Not only are you obviously wrong but you're asking the wrong question. You should be asking, "Does this make our military weaker?"

The answer is the same, of course, and since there's no harm in allowing gays to serve their country, there's no reason to outlaw it except plain old bigotry and homophobia.
