Poll: 75% of Americans Support Gays in Military

Seventy-five percent of Americans believe that gays and lesbians should be allowed to serve in the US military, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The Washington Post reported that the number of Americans who support gays in the military is up from 62% in 2001 and 44% in 1993.

Eighty percent of registered Democrats support the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” a policy barring gay service men and women from serving openly in the military. Enacted 15 years ago under the Clinton administration, the push for the repeal of DADT is gaining momentum. The Post reported that support from Republicans has doubled from 32% to 64 percent since DADT was enacted.

The Post-ABC poll, conducted between July 10 and July 13, also showed that more than 80% of women support gays in the military, compared with approximately 67% of men. (The Advocate)

I bolded that last part because it shows that we’re cooler than men You know it, I know it and they know it.

So, I had a discussion with my husband about this, because he was in the military for 20 years. He’s in favor of separate showers for LGBTQ people. Why? Because he’s afraid he might be somehow compromised. I don’t know, I’ve never been in the military, aside from a brief stint in Sea Cadets, but I’m pretty sure that showers don’t work that way. Plus, he shouldn’t care, since he’s retired.

As for morale, and maybe this is a ME thing, if I was in a shower and some hot man or woman was eyeing me, I’d probably try to fight harder for my country and the freedom that would allow me to have the hots for the aforementioned people
