Is this true? If so how? If not how?

It could be true because you would not let men and women bunk together in the military. If someone is gay, and they are bunking with other men, it would be the same as men and women together.

I think the key to this question is the word "order." It is a concept that is subjective in nature, which means it must be defined according to someone's standards. It is easy to say something is contrary to good order when you are in agreement with whatever group determined what the order is supposed to be.
Otherwise there is no rational reason to prevent gays and lesbians from serving in the armed forces because that has been going on for some time. Some may argue that they perceive certain conduct by a gay or lesbian person to be inappropriate based upon societal norms, but recent sexual scandals in our armed forces indicate straight people can behave pretty badly, too.

You are an ignorant twit. There have been gays and transgenders in the military ever since there was a military. So many transsexuals served in the military that the VA supplies full medical care for GID except surgery. 48 hrs. did a report on a Green Beret colonel who transitioned after 23 yrs. service in almost every hot spot from 1982 to 2004. We were heros while you're still afraid to come out of the closet.

the whole thing with gays not being allowed in the military is just bullshit. For one thing, if you're fighting alongside your love, I'm sorry but you're going to fight harder.I believe that if Gays were allowed into the military it'd make the world see that we're not so evil, that we toerate all people. Right now, we're seen as a country for white/males/straight/christian or catholic/educated in the Ivy Leagues. that's not the right way to view the diverse Americans. But yeah, that's my 2 cents that are worth 2 pts.

No. Gay conduct is contrary, not the gay men themselves. Under the current policy, in effect since the Clinton administration (he was supposed to be our friend) "Don't ask, don't tell," simply means as long as you don't talk about being gay and you don't DO anything that could classify you as gay, you can be gay and stay in the service. Also nobody is supposed to attempt to find out if you are gay.

its literally their job to say that. The idea would be that straight men are afraid of the gays in their midst and that it therefore effects morale and breaks discipline. This is belied by the armies of all our European allies who have included gays for ranging from decades to close to a century. -- with no deterioration of good order or discipline.
It is impossible to prove a negative of course -- so therefore there is no possible logical way to prove it is NOT contrary -- all one can point out is anecdotal evidence, as I did above.

The rest of the world's military doesn't seem to have a problem with it. They'll grab at anything to maintain their status quo. The military holds onto tradition a lot longer than the rest of society; includes racism, sexism, and homophobia.

The Romans would fall in love with eachother, and battle with eachother, and were stronger because of it.
I'm pretty damn sure being gay does NOT mean you're going to have sex in the bunks!!
