Homosexuals in the Military
Homosexuals Serving in the Military
Although some consider homosexuality in the U.S. Military equal and fair, others believe it is a form of disrespect and shame to their country. Homosexuals may have rights such as the “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” act and equality in all, but heterosexuals also have rights and many believe that gays and lesbians should not be allowed to openly serve in the Military. If straight soldiers are giving up their lives to serve for their country they have the right to comfort and the right to a voice. Or would it be okay for a homosexual to stare at a straight soldier while showering? Homosexuals should not be allowed to serve in the U.S. Military because of hyper masculinity, Security Risks and abomination in straight soldiers.
Hyper masculinity is a psychological disorder in most homosexual men. This disorder causes extreme exaggeration and or stereotypical behavior. Hyper masculinity is a strong reason why homosexual men should not be allowed to serve because “This attitude may be one reason why the rate of sexual assault and domestic violence is higher among military personnel than the general population.” (Watts N.pag. “Hyper masculinity”). Because of hyper masculinity, it will be a waste of time for a soldier to enter the military and be ready for combat and then having to tell a homosexual to not “be a sissy; toughen up…” (Zimmer N.pag.). Because he is not mentally prepared to lay in dirty grass with mud while at war. “In Addition, proponents of the ban believe homosexuality in the military would destroy the unit cohesion necessary to military effectiveness”. (Luiken N.Pag.). Going along with the reason why hyper masculinity is a problem in the U.S. Military. “How will recruiting of homosexuals serve the need of the military, and help them better accomplishing their mission of keeping America safe.” (Perkins 67). The only thing that dramatic gay men will do is be dead weight and put America at higher risk of security.
