How does being required to dress and shower in the same room as someone who could be potentially sexually attracted to you not creating a hostile workplace environment?

If it is OK for gays to shower with straight men and lesbians to shower with straight women, then why not straight men and straight women?

Using the same logic the DADT opponents do, they are all professionals and should be able to contain their urges.

For equality's sake, we need either four sets of showers or one.

We’ll have to add another barracks! One for straight men, another for straight women. And then a separate barracks for gay men and women. It’ll only take three, not four, based on sexual “persuasion.”

Yes that possibility should have been front and center in the face of the Joint Chiefs Chairman and the Sec Def. If this is allowed to become reality, the gays will be a protected class and the straight members who complain about the gays will be prosecuted and persecuted! It's ridiculous!

Adm Mullen and Sec Gates and Obama didn't want to hear anything that made sense, it was all about satisfying the gay agenda!

My Marine sons aren't thrilled about Sec Def and CIC and their deafness to the words of the Commandant. I am absolutely FURIOUS about this!
