Originally posted by Seascamp ........ that just about sums it up. I was very young and na?ve also and probably wouldn?t have known if a Gay guy was hitting on me unless he grabbed my butt or pickle or something like that. But nothing ever happened and I only remember meeting one Gay guy the entire time in the Navy. That was later on when I got rotated through Master at Arms duty and had to escort an identified homosexual to a ship that had facilities and procedures to discharge him and send him on home. We went via Marine helicopter and I could tell the poor guy was upset and scared out of his wits. It was way to noisy to talk onboard the chopper so when we landed I took him aside and just told him, ?Stop crying for Christ?s sake, don?t let them see you cry, don?t do it. This too shall pass?. I was 21 at the time and about to go home myself and wasn?t so naive anymore and as such I knew he was in for a real hard time. I think he was 18 or so and a brand new Seaman Apprentice with maybe six months in the Navy, at best. Hopefully, he did as I said and went on home in a peaceful way and not too much worse for the wear, however, homosexuals were on hard times during that era if they were caught, boy howdy.

And I don?t think that is anything I?m proud of as the whole Marine Detachment brig system was totally out of control at the time and they were notorious for being cruel, inhumane and vicious as anyone could possibly imagine, then add some. Sadistic bastards is my thought and I wouldn?t believe it if I hadn?t seen it with my own eyes.

P.S. Ron,
A definition is what it?s all about for sure, as Pandora?s Box has just been opened. More than that actually as we are seeing activist Liberal Judges attempt to rewrite and reweave all the social norms they can get their grippers on. In their mind Gay marriage is OK but boy scouts? using a public park facility is not, I don?t get it. The Massachusetts Judges really think the entire USA is the tail and they are the dog that wags us. Well, I think not.
