For a man to be gay in the military is one thing, but if I see him in the club after work wearing a dress and makeup, it would bother me in formation the next morning. Sorry, but I am mid west farm boy and gay was just not done OPENLY. I do not wish to see anyone kissing and fondling each other at the square in the evening, but if it is two women or two men, it would bother me even more. Keep your sexuality private and I got your back.
