As I've discovered, at least in my limited experience, noone that I am serving with has any issues about anyone being gay. Honestly. It's really quite refreshing to be able to serve with people from all kinds of backgrounds, races, sexuality, etc. It doesn't bother me or anyone around me in the slightest. But again, as was mentioned above, this definitely comes down to personal choice and how comfortable they are with it.

In the military, we shouldn't have to constantly remind each other who is an ally and who is the enemy. It should be very obvious. I'm glad you are an ally who speaks so well and represents my branch with honour.

A1C Ian Williams That is a personal question one must ask themselves. The military today is a reflection of the civilian world to a great extent. No system is perfect, but I have several gay friends who made the army their career. I see soldiers as soldiers.

Very well stated LTC Greg Henning I do see a parallel between representation and the climate of the conversation. Ads like this can help engage those populations who are on the fence about serving their country and helps address those concerns. The more personnel the better, right? We can both agree that more qualified, honourable, and truly committed individuals should be a part of our community. I don't care what people do after they clock out at 5 as long as we all watch each other's 6.

LTC Greg Henning This is no longer a personal question. "Don't know, Don't care". How can you be expected to trust someone fully if you can't share who you are? Also with so much of the military experience shifting to "Direct Dating Services" and increases in Encouraged "Fraternal Mixing" how are we expecting future servicemen to fully integrate into these systems that have been in place for decades?
