One of the nice things about the rules in the old days was that homosexuals couldn't make an issue out of their sexuality, but just had to get on with the job of being an officer in their service. I don't doubt that I served with a few, and I know of some who were most definitely homosexual, but they couldn't make a thing of it: they were judged on their ability in the role, and whether they were any fun on a run ashore.
Mr Gaipilot: have you got the message yet?
