Gays In The Military?

[Videoskooter]

I open this thread because we have a surprising situation in Belgium. Last week a Paracommando officer (= Belgian-Marines) married his Scottish friend.

He wore his uniform during the marriage. The Belgian Ministry of Defense is giving him the full support by saying they endorse gays to enlist for the military. They don't mind he wore his uniform, they only had a small problem with the pics in the papers where he kissed his husband.

But...the guys from his regiment are now stating that he is a disgrace for the Paracommando's and the military and that he made them ridiculous. His superiors have threaten to sanction his collegues if they continue their objections. Till' last week they didn't know he was guy, they only knew he had divorced and had kids.

Do you have/had same situations in your country coz' here it seems to be escalating and I'm afraid he will resign from the army?

My opinion: I think this guy is very courageous and if I was still in the military I would support him!

Remmy, that's a kilt.

A great costume. I can tell, coz' I went out once dressed like a "Schcotschman". I liked Schean Conneréée in it so I just had to wear it!
