Religion, mostly.

Just to confirm, you're AGINAST gay marriage correct? If so, why? Other than your belief of "marriage is solely between a man and a woman". Gay marriage doesn't affect you.

The simple fact of the matter is that many straight people in COMBAT ARMS not some supply, transportation or orderly room bullshit do not want homosexual males around them during downtime and on deployments. It's fucking uncomfortable, period.

That's textbook homophobia. Why is it uncomfortable? Because they're gay and might "try something" on you? I highly, HIGHLY doubt gays join the military to pick up guys.

They undergo the same stress everyone else does. It's about as much a dream to them as it is to you. Being uncomfortable around them displays a great deal of insecurity and homophobia on your part.
