#8  Was the "bullying" instructions to keep it in his pants and keep his preferences to himself, as they were in a region that is famous for boy love but also for pushing walls on homosexuals?

#7  A former Navy SEAL has filed an internal complaint alleging the CIA bullied him for being gay during a work assignment in June in Afghanistan.

What does "being gay during a work assignment" mean? If a person were gay, wouldn't he or she be being gay all the time whether working on duty or not? Or does this refer an overt sexual act while on duty?

#6  Jones, the author of "Pride: The Story of the First Openly Gay Navy SEAL," said he feared for his safety and returned home early from Afghanistan, where he was working as a CIA contractor, in a story first reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune.

#5  A pink-boy ( EX ) Navy SEAL ? From Major Gaylord's Battalion ?

That movie about Sparta may have been truer than we knew.
Speedos and not much else...and lots of muscles and skin and dancing in to battle playing Flutes.
And lots of wrestling and olive Oil and little trainee boys called something...what was it now...Ephetes..or was it Ephebes?

Something very Greekboy, anyway.
Next you will be able to see yourself in the spitshine boots and you can do "takes" and "poses" like the Army Rangers.

#4  "I've wrestled back and forth about whether or not to go public," he said. "The only reason I did is the hope that there is a chance, thought I know it's a slim one, that it will change some of the environment, some of the people."

He 'changed,' so now he wants others to 'change' so that he can finally conform. Makes sense to me.
