Perhaps before you start saying I am disrespectful and commenting based on emotion, you should look at post 122, from a current military member who agrees with me.
In addition, your point about "you joining me in the shower" is inapposite. In that situation, assuming you are a male, and as I am a heterosexual female, there could be the problem of mutual attraction. The accurate comparison would be whether I would be hesitant to shower in an open bay with a lesbian, and I assure you I would not be as I've been in that situation. People on this board assume that homosexuals are so hypersexualized that they're drooling after folks who aren't interested in them and let me tell you, for the vast majority,it's just not true. You're believing what (1) you see in the media {which is hilarious on this board) and (2) what you're allowed to read on this board.
Amazing how when I post under "Cammie" I get all sorts of knee-jerk reactions about being a female, but several years ago, before a computer and e-mail addy change lost all my password info, I posted under a gender neutral name. Back then, no one alleged that I was emotional. Quite humorous.
“Perhaps before you start saying I am disrespectful and commenting based on emotion, you should look at post 122, from a current military member who agrees with me.”
I won’t speak for a member of the Navy, however I don’t think that a navy member can speak for the army. I can tell you that post 122 is not an accurate reflection of the views of lower enlisted members of the army.

You miss the point. Are you willing to shower with a random heterosexual male? Straight men and gay men are both stimulated by visual images, are you willing to allow a random straight man to be allowed that stimulation of viewing you while taking a shower? That is what you are asking of lower enlisted male soldiers.
“I posted under a gender neutral name. Back then, no one alleged that I was emotional. Quite humorous.”
I didn’t know you back then and I don’t really know you now. I only know what you have typed on this discussion thread and it is pretty clear that you aren’t looking at the entire picture and usually an emotional aspect is what prevents that.

In my experience, homosexuals are very promiscuous, male and female alike.
This line of reasoning is completely false and misleading, and fools only the extremely agenda-driven and naive.
