I will be the first to acknowledge that many, possibly even most, homosexuals are decent people despite their sinful lifestyles. I believe that in the average work enviornment they can work side-by-side with everyone else without their homosexuality becoming a problem.
However, there is a sense of trust and brotherhood (I’m still not a big fan of women in combat) that is absolutely necessary on the battlefield and this requires the ability to have complete trust. And no matter what anyone says, homosexuality interferes with this.
As far as blood transfusions go, I do not believe that male homosexuals should EVER be allowed to donate blood or organs. This IS NOT a reflection on them as individuals, nor does it discount the reality that many do take steps to lower health risks, it is simply a realization of the inherent health risks of their lifestyle. How many of us would get behind the wheel of a car or get on an airplane that was manufactured with parts that were “thought” to be free from defects a year ago, but could very likely be defective now?
Outstanding illustration!!
