End of DADT policy in US military
Tourist,
How does that statement make him a homophobe?????? Besides being light-hearted, why would it be homophobic to observe that someone (unnamed) appeared to be homosexual?
Ergo, you are a troll, unless I have misconstrued your last sly reference...

If you imply that I am prudish because of comment, albeit disapprovingly, of the frankly outrageous and unconscionable behaviour of a Royal Navy Officer at a foreign staff college, so be it.
Twenty years ago I would have thought, 'yeah, what a dude'; Two decades later, older, more sober, more senior, married with kids, I simply think 'what a sad individual'. His comments on homosexuals serving in the forces are frankly unprintable.
So call me a prude.

I really should have paid more attention at skool - this all a bit too highbrow for me.
You is what you is. Whenurhappy has a point, Anybody who uses the word 'wog' in general conversation is living in the past.
I am not keen on gay men who mince around in lycra waiting for a reaction to prop up the complaint, but if you do not play the system and get on with it - good luck. We are all human beings.
The military is the same as any walk of life - made up of the community. Get used to it.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I remember the day (well only last year) that I had to advise our transatlantic cousins that it probably wasn't too PC to have the abbreviation for 'Whole Of Government' plastered through a document bound for the UK!
On the DADT piece - I've found that Monty Python's 'DADT repeal marching squad' goes down an absolute storm with my colleagues.....well, I laughed.
I believe it was a Matt cartoon published when the British Military came out of the closet: 2x Army types in a trench, under fire, "You know something sgt, somewhere, out there - there's a Laura Ashley floral print dress with my name on it!".
On a more sombre note, the Republicans have stated that they'll repeal the DADT repeal if they get in power.

Frankly this whole thread is beyond the pale...
First a blatant attack on lycra...
Then fat blokes in lycra...
I suppose somebody is going to hit out at fat blokes in leather thongs next...

The FCO mural referenced by Whenurhappy, anticipating DADT by many decades. Britannia? BriTRANNYa more like! Geddit?

LO, quite a gayful scene really, especially the two Aussies on the right.

Good to see a thread where the discussion remains firmly on the OP and no deviation or trolling.
