Those booing were disrespecting the question, and that's really all there is to this. The subject of the integrating of openly homosexual men into the close quarter lives of the majority heterosexual military is a volatile social issue that the military needs to address, and not the social engineering elitists.
Personally I think that if you believe that heterosexual men should graciously accept openly homosexual men into their group bathrooms, showers and sleeping quarters, then you should also accept heterosexual men into the group bathrooms, showers and sleeping quarters of heterosexual women. We should just mix everyone up if your sexuality is no longer a barrier to the privacy lacking living arrangements of our military.
Just a thought.

Now Richie, that is not much of a thought. A gay man in the military is not analagous to a heterosexual man in a woman's bathroom. Really now.
There have ALWAYS been gays in the military and somehow they managed to control themselves around the straight guys. Being facetious there. They have fought and died besides their comrades. In this day and age to even have this as an issue is ridiculous. I guess now I get to be a social engineering elitist! You know, just cause you throw a little phrase at something does not make it true or make those of us who REALLY believe in equality bad. When Eisenhower intergrated the troops he made it happen...just did it. It was an order. And the military did not curl up and die.
