The subject of Gays in the military has been debated over many
             times by many people. When dealing with whether or not gays should
             be allowed in the military the simple question of, Do they want to be
             in the military?, must be answered. After this question is answered you
             The answer to the question, Do gays want to be in the military?,
             is an unquestioned yes. Gays would be proud and determined to
             protect this beautiful country in which we live. I personally am
             confused as to why there is even a question of whether or not gays
             should be allowed to protect and die for a country they love. I do

             Alan Schindler was a gay man in the Navy. He was brutally murdered
             when some of his shipmates found out he was gay. Events like these
             can only be avoided by education and communication of what
             homosexuality is and how to deal with people who are homosexual.
             The segregation of gays and lesbians in the military should be limited
             to living quarters and that should be the extent of it. The following is
             the 1993 National Board Policy on lesbians and gays in the military;
             WHEREAS, President Clinton has taken the first steps toward ending
             discrimination against lesbians and gay men in the military; and
             WHEREAS, the response to this modest initiative has inclu...
