Arrow Pentagon Says Being Gay Is Like Bedwetting, or Stuttering

It's no longer a mental illness. But it will still get yer ass thrown out, if you are.

Peace and Love, Bruce Chris

This is your classic good news, bad news story. The bad news is that homosexuality is like bed wetting. Soiled sheets and all that. The good news is that it's no longer like serial murder. Give it some time, and they'll be comparing us to bad breath. Is that in the Bible?

Default Is this a step up or down?

Somehow getting categorized along with bedwetters doesn't make me feel much better. Is this the progression in rank?

1. evil agents of Satan out to destroy civilization - to be wiped out

2. mentally ill who probably will inadvertantly destroy civilization - to be changed and controlled

3. person with an annoying problem - to be pitied

Somehow I liked the "evil agents of Satan" classification better. It is at least a cooler group than the other two.

Well, if they categorized us as being regular everyday people they might have to allow us to serve without that don't ask, don't tell nonsense. That scares a lot of conservatives especially. I think they are honestly scared that we might hit on them lol. I'm sorry but I don't hit on straight men lol. And besides that I got a boyfriend lol.

Look on the bright side, Pablo. The next category will put gays in with compulsive farters, who are a real problem on submarines but not necessarily out in the field. Take your progress where you can find it, huh?

Unhappy Giancarlo, stop and think

They are not one itty-bitty bit as much scared about your making a pass at them, as they are about just what they might do, if you did!
