I don't think I should have to be grilled on my sexual orientation by a (mutual) relative just because I said I'm not interested in dating. Of course I'm not interested in dating, I have a freaking brain disease and a problem with my heart and a) what person is going to be interested in me with all that baggage also b) both contribute to the fact I have neither time nor energy to seek anyone out. It's my business if I'm not interested in dating, and it's my business which sex I'm interested in. (Sorry for the rant, Gabe, but I'm just pissed off that someone has the gall to ask me in an accusing voice if I'm gay when I say I'm not interested in dating. First of all it shouldn't matter whether I am or not, and second of all, it's my own damn business and said person should be minding their own business, not mine.

Several of his former coworkers who did their time have "come out" since they were HONORABLY discharged. I know of at least one, if not a few more, than served openly gay and were never discharged or denied a promotion because of it. On my husbands vessel, they had someone who really was gay but was also desperate to get out. He went to the Commanding Officer, disclosed his sexual orientation in hopes of a quick reprimand and a discharge but instead was told, instead "You're a good sailor and it doesn't affect your work."<br /><br />Yes, you CAN openly serve and should be allowed to do so. What astounds me is this: The same parading peacocks are also extreme hypocrites. They don't want the Military to serve openly because it forces them themselves to look long and hard at their own sexual orientation and if they can force someone else to live a lie - by not allowing gays to serve while being open and honest about their sexual orientation - then it's also alright that they are not being open and honest about theirs. Especially those right-wing bigots.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16270355836018279531noreply@blogger.com
