Homosexuality in the Military

If a serviceman of the U.S. military is openly "gay", he is permanently removed from active duty immediately. Let's ask the question, "Why, are gay men incapable executing the tasks assigned to them in the military?" One must dissect the nature of the most expensive military in the world in order to unearth some reasoning behind their policy that forces men into denial of their "non-biological gender" (In other terms; "The normativity and naturalness of their sexuality") in order to remain acceptable. The reality in the military for a gay man is not demonstrative of equal-employment-opportunity. Rather; it is demonstrative of the U.S. military's failure to accept the normality of sociobiology. Refusal of a gay man's right to be "openly-gendered" exemplifies a fear of the U.S. military.

Let's ask, "Why is the military afraid of servicemen rather than servicewomen being openly gay?" One answer could lie with the fact that the U.S. is a patriarchy. The ratio of "heterosexual" men and "homosexual" men is far less polar-extreme than that of "heterosexual" men and "homosexual" women in the military. By the process of relative/empathetic-thinking on the behalf of "heterosexual", the military's sociobiologists could be afraid that the idea of homosexuality being acceptable may incur a gender ratio for the military as a whole, rendering it subject to normality, rather than "normativity and naturalness". The male-gendered military's progression with normalities of homosexuality is halted by the time-tested, functional equation formulated in a manner which protects the integrity of the biologically male hormone; testosterone. Sociobiologists are aware of the territorial-aggressive effects of this hormone and consider it a cataclysmic chemical benefiting the progression of domination. Let's ask, "Would a female-gendered military's equation and chemistry be cataclysmic towards the progression of domination? If not, why? The conceived ideas about "female" traits do not signify the same kind behavior derived from conceived testosterone-substantiated traits. A serviceman's worth as a soldier is evaluated based upon their ability to submit to a uniform mission propelled by a desire that both genders demonstrate regardless of their biology, but yet are not equally entitled to
