Actually, I have seen surprising acts of kindness and in support of individual rights in unlikely places.
I was at a party my neighbor had in Fayetteville, N.C. which was mostly comprised of gay men, and the couple giving the party were both male.
The two straight servicemen who started the problems went to jail for assault and theft of items from my Neighbor's apartment.
They kept frantically telling the Fayetteville Police, "These guys are [F words]." The police responded essentially, "So?" and informed them they were interested in the crimes the two men were perpetrating, not someone's private business concerning their relationships with others.
I even went so far as to give the Commander of these guy's unit a statement, and both were burned in a legal action by this unit, one of the men losing a grade of rank in the process.

Why would they go there to start with if they objected to homosexuality?

GOOD! Why is it that I sense you also wanted them to go to jail for their opinions about homosexuality,though?
They kept frantically telling the Fayetteville Police, "These guys are [F words]."
The word is "faggot". It won't hurt you to say it,and a thunderbolt won't come out of the clear sky and strike you dead for saying it. It is a actual word in the English language,and it is more accurate description of homosexuals than the label "gay". All it implies is that they are flamers. The word "gay" tries to imply being a homosexual is a "happy thing" and NOT being a homosexual is a "bad and sad thing".

Which no matter how badly the Dim and the RINO left wish otherwise,is the way it SHOULD be. The Bill of Rights insure we don't have "Thought Police" in this country.
I even went so far as to give the Commander of these guy's unit a statement,
Who died and made you the PC Hall Monitor?

They should have both been busted down to E-1 and tossed out of the army for theft. The rest of it is none of their C.O.'s OR the army's business unless the assault was unprovoked or these idiots were in uniform and because of this seen as representing the Army.
