RAF IS LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD GAYS
 See-Dubya calls them the Rainbow warriors:
The Royal Air Force has called in a gay pressure group to help solve its recruitment crisis. The Service will take advice from Stonewall on how to make itself more attractive to homosexual and bisexual men and women, and is aiming to spend tens of thousands of pounds on advertising in the “pink” media.
As part of the initiative, the RAF will pay Stonewall an undisclosed sum to join its “Diversity Champions” programme, under which commanders have to demonstrate the Service’s commitment to implementing a range of policies to promote “lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) equality in the workplace”.
This particular passage sums up my feelings:
Gerald Howarth, the shadow Tory defence minister with responsibility for the RAF, said that he thought that “taxpayers would be aghast” that public money was being used to support a pressure group. “This is an extraordinary exercise in political correctness,” he said. “The idea that the homosexual community is not already aware of the opportunities in the Armed Forces is ridiculous, and to go out and specifically recruit on the grounds of a person’s sexuality seems to defeat the whole purpose of anti-discrimination legislation.”
They are caving to a pressure group. The government has already lifted the bans and changed the rules. Under no circumstances should they be taking orders from Stonewall. Am I to believe that homosexuals can not perform the exact same duties as a heterosexual?Â

I happen to know two American airman (one is ninety) who are veterans of the American Air Force in WW II who are both gay (both wash frequently).
They find nothing unusual about gay folks serving SE.:wink:
Homoseuxality, generally, is not viewed in the manner you view it in The British Isles.

At first I thought you were just gay bashing; but actually your point is valid and I agree.
