The "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy has finally been getting a bit of debate in the U.S. House. While this debate has been going on, it's struck me just how crazy the whole "controversy" of gays in the military is. What exactly is the problem here?
There's no controversy about letting gay people be policemen, firemen, or any other type of public servants. And why should there be? Like most American workers, they do their jobs professionally and save romance for their personal time. The whole idea of banning people from work based on their sexual orientation makes no sense. Can you imagine telling someone he can't be an accountant because he's gay?
I just can't understand exactly what sort of calamity we think would happen if openly gay soldiers were serving in the military. Can somebody please explain?

Yeah, Jeff, but FIREMEN don't have to sleep in the same room as each other! Oh, wait, no. Never mind, they do.
Baseball teams pat butts, but our military can't have anyone who is openly gay... Are they afraid the homosexuals will look better in fatigues?
I love Eddie Izzard's take: The first transvestite brigade - what an element of surprise that would be on the enemy!
