The United States of America is a country of freedom, just like its people are free so should their beliefs. Homosexuality should be granted rights with the exception of having the right to raise children, and to show public affection. I have no issue against gay people, my sister is a lesbian and only God knows how many cousins I have that may be gay. I feel that these people should be indentified and separated from the straight in military service. Only God knows how long this society has had to keep this a secret. The truth is they are hurting themselves and others psychologically by keeping this part of them confined in their mind.
I was reading in the Denver Post about bullying homosexuals. The title of the article was “Focus Points to Bully Pulpit.” Author Electa Draper wrote “The ministry says schools’ policies are quietly promoting a gay agenda.” My question is why are they doing this quietly? Sounds like a scam, or like some sort of grey area is being covered up. Candi Cushman an education expert for Focus on Family ministry said that “Public schools increasingly convey that homosexuality is normal and should be accepted,” I strongly disagree that homosexuality is normal. It is not normal and any person that feels they are gay should seek inner healing. I think that we should have laws on gays performing public display of affection. Public affection between homosexuals should be kept in private. People should not have to be exposed to such behavior. Gay persons should keep their actions behind closed doors and identify themselves with a rainbow wristband perhaps. I feel that bullying is unacceptable and that it shouldn’t happen to anyone. These actions should be illegal. Children should not have to be raised by any homosexual, bisexual, gay, etc. It is not normal for this to be happening anywhere internationally.
Joining the military should be legal for the homosexual society, since there are already service members that fall into these categories serving currently and protected by the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy. The main issue is amending the policy so that these persons could be identified as such and not hurt those emotionally that are straight. New technology like a polygraph should be used on recruits in the military entrance process. No recruit wants to feel uncomfortable in the showers, restrooms or squad bay in boot camp because they are shared by both parties. Separate quarters for all genders.
The following paragraph is my personal experience in basic training. "As if they were in a state of hypnosis their eyes raping my naked body as I entered the showers. I felt like telling them, “Stop fucking looking!” Then I realized there were more of them against me and it probably would have made my experience in boot camp a lot more difficult. In a way I was afraid that something negative would happen to me so I kept my mouth shut and didn’t voice my opinion. My mind wondered why they stared so intently. Were they homosexuals or bisexuals? Do they have any respect for humane privacy? These are the questions I have asked myself for so long, bottled up. I felt violated, disgusted, humiliated and betrayed. But by who? Who should I blame, my government, the Marine Corps, these perverts staring me down, their parents or myself for choosing to serve our country." For this reason I chose to write this, so that the abuse will stop. Finally may the laws of the Universe thrive!
