I don't understand how any homosexual soldier is ok revealing something that may have a negative impact on their unit's ability to work together.
Its not their fault that people in their unit are homophobes. Its not like they dress up as the village people and dance around in live combat. They're the exact same as everyone else, just that they like dudes a little more than the already suspiciously homoerotic soldiers.

DADT was a compromise. I get annoyed with this idea that it was AN AWFUL PIECE OF LEGISLATION MEANT TO DISCRIMINATE AND FORCE HOMO'S INTO THE CLOSET.
That's funny, because I'm pretty sure that's exactly what DADT did. If you got outed, you got discharged. I don't see how thats anything besides "keep your dick away from me, queer".

That being said, I think it's being repealed is a good sign of humanity's broadening tolerance.
Is this you admitting that DADT was a backwards policy? Because that's what it sounds like.
If you're going to say that repealing DADT was a step towards a more tolerant nation, why even bother defending DADT in the first place?
You'd make a great lay for a gay dude. If you can already deepthroat your foot so well, I don't imagine a dick would be too hard.
