The only issue that concerns me is sexual attraction. I don't know what the numbers are, but I would think some gay men serving together will no doubt find each other in a sexual way. Could that cause problems, I honestly don't know. Basically, you're opening up the door. Many marines would have a problem showering with an openly gay man.

If letting people that are sexually attracted to each other shower together, bunk together, ect..with those not sexually attracted to each other, who knows what issues arise.

So when do we get to letting men and women sexually attracted to each other shower together, bunk, ect.. It's highly likely that in combat this could happen, but we seperate the sexes for a reason, that sexual or emotional attachment could cause problems on the battlefield.

Overall, the issues would probably be very minor, but it's also a matter of equality. The services have always seperated sexual attraction. So if sexually attracted males can serve, shower, bunk together, why not sexually attracted males and females? Doe's it really come down to body parts.....I don't think so.

It's probably more a cultural issue.
