WTF you wanna touch?
huh? that's not even the main pivotal argument in here. It's the people who are not comfortable with gay people in any matter. Recall a thread where a couple of men said - "as long as they do not touch me, we're cool". Some people have personal issue with it - could be religious reason. could be their POV.
I have no problem with working/living/celebrating/showering with gay people like the way soldiers do on daily basis but I acknowledge the existence of uncomfortable atmosphere that homosexuality can creates in any place.
Just because other countries allow openly gays in military doesn't mean those gay people are treated the same way as heterosexual people.
Do you honestly think that straight men are comfortable sharing close living quarters with gay men? Do you honestly think straight women are comfortable sharing close living quarters with straight men? Even if they aren't "sex fiends" there is an element of sexual tension involved, and you are the one being unrealistic if you don't realize that.
I really don't think there is a problem as long as nobody is trying to make any sexual advances or sexually harasses others.
It's not just touching. I don't mind being around gay people. With some men you would never guess they are gay. With others its obvious. I know this one dude and he recently revealed he was gay. I would have never guessed. But since he came out he started getting into my space where it made me uncomfortable and I had to set him straight (no pun intended). Since then we are fine. There are many things outside of touching that could cause someone to be uncomfortable.
So, they fit the stereotype of "gay"? Were you really sure about them being gay without asking or telling?not so much appearance other than the tat on the one dude that said "SeaHag" Behaviour, speech and mannerisims.

It's not your place to assume someone is gay just because they appear gay. The only way you know someone is gay is when, like you said, the person tells you themselves that they are gay.
You mean like this :fruit:......... j/k
Them admitting it may have had something to do with it.So, they fit the stereotype of "gay"? Were you really sure about them being gay without asking or telling?
Excuse me but what does this dancing Casper signify?
Just joking
Oh, I knew you were joshing; I only wanna know what the emoticon means, literally.
They meant by " do not touch" as don't pinch their bottom, or flirty touch. Not a handshake type of touch. Unless they mean touch at all as if they have a plague. But men are like that. They don't even like hugs from their mom sometimes.
Oh.....in this case I was using it as kind of......light in the loafers,,,, in response to RDs "obviously gay".....
But again I was kidding. I have no dog in this fight. I do think war time is a bad time to review the policy though.
So 2 heterosexual men should not hugging each other? aggressively manhandling each other? butt-patting?
