When I was full time (1976-90) it was illegal to be gay in the Forces....

so to be honest nobody really thought about it at all as it wasn't an issue. When I was recalled as a reservist (2000 in Sierra Leone and 2001 in the Gulf) the law had changed, but again it wasn't really an issue, because to be gay had become accepted in everyday life.

The bottom line is, if they do their job, then I have no problem with gays in the military.
