Sounds like change is coming...

Men don't get periods.

You can't dispose of tampons in VCHT on surface ships either. Well, it is sometimes tried, but always results in aft VCHT being shut down to clear the clog. So there must be other reasons...

Aside from that, it's unlikely that the straight majority is going to sexually harass/molest the gay minority while in the bathroom. However, it becomes much more likely that the male majority would take advantage of the female minority in such a situation. There's also the physical issue that the average woman probably can't take on the average man.

Such interesting logic. Taking the logical next step, you'd want to make absolutely sure there is not going to be a gay majority on a sub so you'll have to keep your gay survey up to date; also you'll want to prohibit homosexuals from becoming stronger than heterosexuals of the same gender...


If DADT is repealed, it probably will require more accomodations than you are willing to admit. But like I said, if it became DADTDC, I'd settle for that.

Have any of you ever thought the gay guy "might" just come to work, be a professional and go home?

I'm sorry, this is making my head hurt. And YES I agree.

I don't understand the argument in general of safety, looking, oogling, and sexual orientation. Probably because I don't care.

I am female and have had both men and women hit on me WHILE on deployment and in the civilian world. I don't care. If a women makes and advance on me I turn her down. If a man makes and advance on me I turn him down(sorry, Im married). I don't understand why it's such a big deal if someone of the same sex may or may not be interested in you.

I know that I have showered in open bays with lesbians. Again, I don't care. I do my business and get out of there. I do not feel threatened or grossed out. Why does is seem that men cannot adapt this train of thought too?

I have had a man come up behind me and physically touch me starting to rub my shoulders or something...I just move and say thanks but no thanks. And I have done the same thing when a woman once started to rub my leg. It's all a matter of proffesionalism, manners and self-esteem of who I am. Hell, anyone that may find my attractive by appearance I find flattering, but just because it may be someone of the same sex does not send me into the ewwww factor. Also, if either gender were to come up to me and say, for example grab me inappropriately I would probably smack the hell out of them, regardless of their gender.

I really wish that everyone would stop worrying about everyone else unless it starts affecting the job we are trying to do. Once it does, then it's time to persue and punish accordingly.

I joined the military to do a job. Yes we all come from different walks of life. It has been interesting to meet and come to know all sorts of different people. If I learn that someone has beliefs, ideas, hobbies, preferences that I don't agree with or believe I politely exclude myself from the conversations.

And to be blunt honestly I would not care if I had to berth and shower with the opposite sex either! But maybe that's just me. I know I'm not the norm.

I just think I have more important things to worry about than who he/she is having fun with in the bedroom.
