I get that, but there's really no practical reason why a gay male can't be just as good a soldier as a straight male. The younger generations are more accepting of gays than the older generations. There will be a few years where adjustment is difficult, but the culture will change to the point where serving beside gays is no different than serving beside "minorities."
That said, I wouldn't support transgendered people serving in the military at this time. I'd like to see more information on how feasable that would be, from a medical standpoint.

Well, that's just petty ignorance, similar to "all black people steal" and "all mexicans are illegal job stealers." I'm sure if there were more examples of non-flaming gay people on the television, that would help.
Besides, look at how many supposedly straight people in the Government get busted for doing gay shit. EDIT: They're not prancing around the House looking like Elton John or Liberace, but still love the penis.
