The problem I see is a misconception about gays by heterosexuals. Have any of you straight people ever been approached or accosted by a gay person? I think not, gay people usually know who is straight and who is gay and they tend to respect others proclivities. I have been approached by a gay person before and all I did was thank them for the compliment by graciously declined and it went no farther. I served in the military and knew some gay people who served along side me. I saw no problem with it in any way. It is basically no different than have women serving along side. When one is on duty there is no public display of affection allowed between men and women so it would be no different than between men and men or women and women. As for the showers, that is a difficulty most people have anyway even without knowing there might be gays there. Even showers in high school gyms are difficult for a lot of people and carries into adult life. This is why deodorant is know as a marine shower. I guess in short the problem is not with gay people but with straight people and how secure they are in the own sexuality. Go out and meet some gay people and see for yourself that they are not sex maniacs out to rape you. I believe there are more perverts who are heterosexual than there are gay ones.
