Do I have this right? If I'm a gay soldier and want to shower, I'm supposed to find a "chaplain"?

[ruggerson]

And then do what?

Do they dispense the towels?

I don't want to violate any rules here.

[donco6]

1. "Pray away teh Gay"

When you come back, he'll be gone.

[LostinVA]

2. Ask him to sing you a Donnie McClurkin song n/t

[blondeatlast]

3. Maybe they dispense holy water. nt

[blondeatlast]

4. "Take no action."

Really, isn't that just the PERFECT response, both on the survey and in real life?

:rofl:

[ruggerson]

5. Sarah Silverman needs to do an entire show on this

[Bluebear]

9. Notice that "take a shower as usual" wasn't even a choice?

[blondeatlast]

11. I did--the phrasing was interesting to say the least. nt

[boppers]

6. That question wasn't asked.

Strawman FAIL.

[ruggerson]

8. this is the comic relief thread bippers

you're welcome here, but you need a fatty to get in the door.

[Bluebear]

10. Everyone chill the fuck out and consult your chaplain if faced with an open bay shower.

[Unvanguard]

7. I think the prevailing assumption is that only straight people exist.

Or, at least, that only straight people matter.

[RKP5637]

12. Or that the US was founded by straight people for straight people by god.

[jobycom]

18. Close. The assumption is that all people are straight people.

Gay people are just straight people doing gross things. I think that's what they think.

[jobycom]

13. Don't worry, if you're in the military, you'll be too old for the chaplain...

Yeah, I know, bad Jobycom.

[blondeatlast]

15. Oh, oh, oh...

:spank:Y :spank:Y

[ruggerson]

28. lol

[pinboy3niner]

14. Why do you want to shower with a chaplain?

I dunno, but it seems to me he'd only get in the way. :evilgrin:

[terrya]

16. That's what it looks like, apparently.

BTW, ABC News tonight did a story about this ridiculous survey.

Robert Gibbs needs to be mercilessly questioned about this farce at Monday's White House Press Briefing. President Obama, who I thought made it clear that he wants DADT repeal to happen, needs to fix this ASAP.

[havocmom]

17. But if you are a heterosexual who rapes a female comrade, you find protection

Go figure.

[Dead_Parrot]

19. Yes. Specifically, a Catholic priest.

Bring your choirboy outfit.

:hide:

[Nite Owl]

20. The question should be:

I'm a straight soldier and am afraid to shower with gays: I should consult a psychologist because I am insecure.

[southernyankeebelle]

21. My husband was in the Army and worked at the chaplain's office and he said

he wouldn't turn a person in if he knew they were gay. He said as long as people do their job that should be what is important. He told people he knew that were gay just do your job and they wouldn't have any problems. Now honestly if a bunch of guys are in the shower do you expect a gay person to go over and attack another soldier. It ain't happening.

[Smarmie Doofus]

22. I think you're just supposed to stay dirty til the non-gays are finished.

Or maybe the straights are supposed to stay dirty.

I'm all mixed up at this point.

Is it possible that the Defense Department is making just a little too much of this issue?

[Scurrilous]

23. Kick

:kick:

[blondeatlast]

24. K because I made such a clever comment upthread. nt

[Arkana]

25. Well, it's hard to reach a couple spots on your back--how ELSE are you gonna reach 'em?

[EFerrari]

26. This is an SNL skit.

:)

[Touchdown]

27. The Chaplain has all the Bette Midler albums. He'll get you in the mood for a shower.
