I don't see why people who are well aware of the rules join and expect to change things to cater to them, because there are PLENTY of rules in the military. I've heard all sorts of arguements like "They don't choose to be straight or not." "They're born that way." Or I've even heard people go as far as saying it is a birth defect. Fact is the military is well segregated as it is, overweight people are kicked out for being out of regulations, people with asthma are not allowed to join, hanging out with someone of a higher paygrade could be considered fraternization, so gays are not the only ones segregated against in the military.
Did you just compare being gay to being overweight? Being gay has no affect on service. Last time I checked we have become worse off because of kicking the gays out. Civil rights should always be protected end of story (ex. the military can not kick you out for marry outside your race, something that use to happen).
