yeah that's the point. although, lesbian porn is notorious for not using lesbians. Gay porn, on the other hand... you just CAN'T use a straight man.

"oh, no *teehee* I'm a real lesbian!"

If real lesbians did porn, not many men would watch it.

I'm going to burst your bubble.

Taken from http://www.sexuality.org/l/reviews/rvsp.html

"Another topic which was discussed at length was the issue of straight men in the gay porn industry (i.e. "gay for pay"). One of the featured actors self-identified as straight, as apparently do many others actors in the industry (it's apparently not unheard of to film a sex scene where all of the actors involved personally identify as straight). Many of the gay actors in Shooting Porn had mixed feelings about what "straight" really means in this context, and one was pretty skeptical that any gay porn actors are REALLY straight. His frank summary of the matter: "I don't buy it at all - I've worked with so many guys who claim they're striaght, and stress they're straight, and frankly they're the best cocksuckers around."

thing is tho, someone that's 'flamboyantly homosexual' is unlikely to get in the army in the first place. i know this plays to a stereotype but the overly camp gays don't tend to be army-types...they're more likely to wanna be a fashion designer or summat. i can't see a big gay al type wanting to be in the front-line of the military.

besides, just cos a person is gay doesn't mean they SHOULD be employed, only that they should be considered for employment. i don't think anyone's talking about positive discrmination here.

if someone would piss off the other soldiers, whether it's cos they're overtly gay, mentally unstable, tedious...whatever...they're likely to be weeded out in the lengthy selection process...

I know a VERY flamoyantly homosexual man in the Army. VERY. I called him Sgt Queenie for a reason, dammit. And as long as he didn't tell anyone in a leadership position and nobody asked him, he could stay there. There are ALOT of gay people in the military. And I'm not poking fun, but seriously, most of them are in the Air Force.

But I read all this, and I was THIS CLOSE to telling everyone I was gay today. *sigh*

I believe the main reason they don't want gays in the military is for the same reason they don't want women in the infantry. When there's a mission, and you're out getting shot at and such, you're more likely to make a bad snap judgement if someone you "love" gets shot. Instead of moving ahead with the mission, you'd freak out and start wailing and crying and such. At least that's what I guess.

Well, they can't specifically ask them their sexuality...

and on top of that, I don't understand what race or sexuality have to do with your ability to do a job - unless it's gay porn, of course!

Nope, they don't ask.

Re: Ability - see above.
