Yes they do.
Obviously willing to go to war and die for your country is a big deal, but imagine if the country you fought for claimed you were immoral and wrong and going to hell and deserved inferior treatment.
You mean the country that just legalized gay marriage on a federal level?
Being openly gay shouldn't be a brave thing, but sadly it is.
If you compare being openly gay in the US to serving in the military, you are a moron of a higher order.
This is why people make such social commentary. As Staffighter says above both things are being brave for their own reasons. I myself can't see myself going to war unless I was needed to for the sake of the future, but luckily that isn't a requirement currently and others far more skilled and able can do fighting in my place.
You can't compare being a serviceman deployed in a warzone to being openly gay in the United States. If you do, you're a retard who knows nothing about the horrible things the men and women of our military currently serving in conflict zones overseas have to endure on a daily basis.
If you genuinely believe that you can even begin to compare the bravery of a serviceman serving in a warzone to that of a homosexual openly advertising their sexual orientation in public in the United States, you're an incredibly naive buffoon and I hope that you have to experience the horrors of war firsthand every single day until you realize what an idiot you are.
Gay elitism at it's finest.
Although I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to see such a profound level of ignorance and elitism coming from the likes of you.
