I conclude that homophobia is directly proportionate the the degree of which your life is in danger. If the Chicoms just launched a shoot and forget supersonic missile at my aircraft carrier and the best person at intercepting that missile based on the their demonstrated skills just happens to prefer sex with the same gender, gimme the homo every time!
You want the homo?
How about we turn down perfectly good men just to inflate the number of queers in the ranks?
You still want the homo?
Next we lose even better men (and women) as they elect to stay the hell away from the fags that have overtaken the Armed Forces.
And you still want the homo?
You are a Flaming Liberal.
You might be gay, sorry if I offended you.
How much is WaPo paying you to post on Free Republic?

I’m sure most of the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah were probably saying the same type of things.
I doubt that there many who have any real problem serving with homosexuals in the context of doing the actual job of defending the country, or, as in your example, an aircraft carrier. I don’t have a problem being around homosexual folks, and I imagine I have been around many people that I did not even KNOW were homosexual. I happen to think the lifestyle is wrong, but that is not my call for them.\
However, there are situations in which those who are naturally attracted to another ought not be in close proximity. This is why, sadly, I was not allowed to shower with girls in high school gym class. Somehow they thought I might ogle them and have some interest in interacting with them in a physical way— even if it turned out that ther might be a (rare, perhaps) attractive lesbian among them. Similarly, being placed in close, naked, proximity with someone who might be inclined to [insert your favorite euphemism for gay sex here] with me is something that I find offensive. Out on the firing range, no problem, but I don’t want any “shots” taken at me in the shower stalls, thank you, and I don’t want to have to be constantly on guard that the guy next to me in the barracks wouldn’t mind snuggling up (not that I’d be all that great a catch for a gay guy, but if you only look at the back of my head, I don’t look so bad).
I don’t think I’m going out on a limb in saying that my views are pretty representative of most straight guys.
I concluded long ago that the term "homophobia" was developed by leftists. Since I am not a useful idiot the term is not a legitimate part of my vocabulary...
I give the liars no accommodation...
There is no such thing as “homophobia”. That is merely a buzzword invented by the militant homosexuals. Are you one?
There is, however, a natural and healthy revulsion about same sex sodomy. It is filthy, spreads disease, disugsting, injurious, and a crime against nature. Anal sodomy in particular is widely practiced among homosexuals and is one of the most dangerous “sex” practices anyone could do. When practiced between men and women it is also disgusting and spreads disease and injury by its very nature.
Your support of the homosexual agenda has gone on long enough on FR.
I conclude you never served in the military.
Homophobia is from the left wing lexicon, and the only value it has is to discourage and ostracize people that uphold morality. I’m sorry, but people aren’t going be ashamed to speak out something thyat the founding fathers were embarassed to mention by name.
Sorry, your ingenuous use of the contrived, meaningless political slur “homophobia” should ban you from this sight. Got back to the DUmp, where you’d, no doubt, find yourself much more at home.
