However, I will say that women in the military and gays in the military do have a parallel. Why is it that only the hetero male is suitible for combat action? Does this only apply to infantry, or does this extend to artillery, aviation, etc...?
(I'm not a military expert, so please someone touch on different combat roles and whether it would be more or less difficult to serve alongside gays and lesbians in these situations.)
