Homophobes Last Stand against DADT

Filed in National by on December 28, 2010

Talking Points Memo interviewed Elaine Donnelly, founder and President of the Center for Military Readiness, who has been fighting DADT for evah and she had this to say about showers:

“I don’t know about the gyms where you go or most people go, but the gyms that I’ve seen have a sign inside the door, and the door says inside the women’s locker room ‘no boys of any age are allowed.’ Now there’s a reason for that. It in no way is a negative reflection on anybody, it is just a sign of respect for modesty in sexual manners.

Knowingly, you don’t expose yourself to somebody who might be sexually attracted to you. Does it happen unknowingly? Sure. It’s something that again, when you introduce an element of sexuality in an environment that previously did not have that, that is problematic. There will be consequences from that, because people are normal, they’re humans, they’re sensitive to that.”

I’ll let Barney Frank explain why the stoopid.

  1. So this is what the professional homophobes are reduced to – arguing that gay people are going to look at your junk in the shower.

  2. Frank says:

    That’s been part of their argument all along.

    I guess the fear of being looked at arise scary thoughts in their minds.

  3. pandora says:

    I think it’s the fear of what might “arise” on themselves in the shower that’s the real problem.

    You know, this really would be the time for certain Congressmen to come out. Barney is really working overtime as the sole spokesman.
