Does it surprise anyone who has familiarity with the armed forces that the Navy would be pro-homosexual?
They recruit in key west and provincetown.
Not in the least. Did not surprise me that the Navy was the first to come out of the closet.

Two points if I may:
Melchior, you must be a &^#*nut. I have no idea where you served,or even if you did, but I guarantee me and my Navy buddies served in more danger and terrible conditions than you ever did. And EVERYONE was a man, and looked out for each other. I would match war stories with you anytime. When we served there was a ban on homosexuals serving. I am sure there were more than a few in every branch of the service, but they surely hid their preferences.
This DADT is a done deal, has been for some time now. I would bet that most of the congress critters never even served in the military. It is just indicative of the way this once great country is sliding headfirst into self destruction and obscurity. Another “politically correct” move to allow the liberals to change the world as we know it.
I also guarantee to you that enlistments will be down almost immediately, and CADRE will be lost due to this decision. This will severely cripple the rate of retention in the military.
My son is in the men's department of the Navy. He said you will see a mass exodus within the Marines.
