I would just like to remind us all (myself included) as this may be a heated topic for some of us, to please refrain when discussing opposing views from doing so in a manner that seems as if we are making personal attacks at each other.

I would also purpose the question then: Do policies like "don't ask don't tell" apply to a military member's off base lives? What kind of restriction is that really? Isn't it a rather subjective kind of thing that forces one to hide all the time?

And if sexual relationships or fratrenization as Oz so kindly pointed out the military term for us, isnt allowed period between serving hetro-sexual men and women, then whats the problem with letting homosexuals stop having to live behind closed doors allways affriad of aqusation and come out into the open?

What really makes sexual orientation such a hurdle? Other than "fear" of the suposabely unknown?





PS I would also like to thank fetish for bringing up the ancient greeks, the Sacred Band of the Thebans in paticular is where we have the most evidence of male to male pairings of a sexual nature being encouraged and also proved quite effective for them as
They did after all defeat the pedastic Spartans dominion over the Peloponese.
