Baron, your question is excellent:
The majority rules...sometimes? Why are our morals determined by majority rule rather than an objective standard?
The treatment of homosexuals should be ruled by the "golden rule".
All peoples should be treated with kindness, understanding and the love of the Lord. But, that doesn't mean acceptance and accomodation of behaviors the Lord says is wrong.
I don't think society is doing the homosexual a favor in the long run.
Someone said it's difficult for homosexuals to give up that lifestyle, how much harder is it after society says dont' worry, your behavior is accepted?
The military putting it's stamp of approval and making room for that behavior adds to the burden, imo.

I think the military needs to take a moral stand against adultery, fornication, white lies, gossip mongering, and other works of the flesh. Their silence on these matters can be construed as tacit approval.
Oy vey.
