May I Suggest ..........
........... that part of the problem is the uncompromising and aggressive tactics of Stonewall. That is the mantra: "if you're not for us, you must be against us".
It follows that if the RAF hierarchy does not make a song and dance about this and merely accepts that the LGBT 'label' is a non issue, Stonewall will take this to be damning with faint praise and try to show the service as being homophobic.
My message to the RAF top brass and to Stonewall is this:
IT'S NOT AN ISSUE - GET IT!!
As has been posted elsewhere, the armed forces have many complex issues affecting their personnel and these impact on the whole uniformed and civilian populations, not just a particularly group. Concentrate on the main issues - AMP and Air Sec.
