I can imagine, and I don't doubt, how it is in that kind of environment. But would you say that is representative of the norm in general society?Some of the stereotypes regarding the Navy (and the military in general) have basis in fact and one of them is rampant and casual homophobia, at least among submarine sailors. The sex-talk was near constant and overwhelmingly sexist.
Are these "rights"? Things to be enforced by laws? I can see forcing tolerance, but inclusion and acceptance? You may have to tolerate your neo-nazi neighbors, but do you have to include and accept them?Though there are many other issues of tolerance, inclusiveness, and acceptance
Don't gays [everyone] already have this right?rights to not be beaten up
I'll take your word for this, as you are the lawyer. I didn't realize these were still problems, because I haven't heard of an incident of these in, like 20 years. I mean, I see/hear/read/know about gays having jobs, living in rentals, and adopting babies, but I don't the discrimination.They need employment fairness: you might not be fired from the military anymore, but not all states protect gays from being fired for their orientation.
They need housing fairness: you can still be evicted from your rental property for being gay in some states.
They need fairness in adoption: some places, homosexuality is a bar to adoption.
