What about before the repeal of DADT when people (theoretically) couldn't be openly gay? You realize you would have served with gay people unknowingly, right? And that makes it better somehow? So now the fact that they can be openly gay (as opposed to having to be quiet about it) has made the...

There is always going to be a fundamental fear/loathing of what is different, what is unknown, or what is unfamiliar. But in the case of people...
