Please do show us all where this right is named.

The right to be found unattractive.

It think it's the 27th amendment: Congress shall pass no law forcing gay men to find straight men attractive, even when straight men are wearing uniforms.

I promise you every circle of guy friends has at least one dude that's in the closet. You got that one guy that tends to primp moreso than the rest of you, is more worldly and what not. That ****er is checking you out.

So this military thing is probably the least of your worries.

Yes they should, unless the military can allow male and female soldiers to live in the same barracks and use the showers together

And what 'rights' of theirs are being violated by having a gay man in the same barracks and same shower room?

1. If they were lesbians and hot lesbians no straight would have a problen showering with them... Unless there gay of course.

2. If half the men in this country were gay think of the opportunities it would open up for us straight dudes.

3. I think gays should get married and suffer in marriage just like the rest of us. I'm done with this, on 90% of things I believe gays should have all the rights I have.
I just have to ask about that other 10%. In what areas would you think gays (or anyone else) shouldn't have the same rights as you and why?

And where in the Constitution (or anywhere else) could we find that "right" spelled out. Not to mention the simple fact that, when one joins the military, one voluntarily gives up a lot of their rights, including the right to privacy in the shower and the barracks.

Why? When before they were allowed to be openly gay, people were sleeping and showering together anyway...
