Is the Pentagon Considering Segregating Gay/Lesbian Troops After DADT Reoeal?
I can't even begin to contemplate what kind of boobs there must be in the Pentagon to even go here - establishing segregation in our military as a solution for the homophobes in the ranks. Whatever happened to "following orders?" These bigots in the Pentagon really are as obsessive about sex/violence as Elaine Donnelly.
[Pentagon spokesman Geoff] Morrell also insisted that the questions with which most critics took the most umbrage - i.e., those related to lifestyle issues like socializing outside of work as well as showering and sharing barracks with openly gay and lesbian colleagues (as though that does not currently occur) - were developed as part of a process within the department and the working group to address the "privacy" issues of concern to heterosexual members of the military.
Morrell said, "We think it would be irresponsible to conduct a survey that did not address these questions," but insisted they were asked to help the military determine what adjustments might be necessary "when DADT is repealed." In response to questions from reporters, Morrell clarified that the survey responses could lead the military to conclude that it would "perhaps need adjustments to facilities themselves."
