Let me be honest here, if you are a guy who took PE and had to shower, you showered with a gay
at least you likely did. I am not saying it because I am psychic. I am saying that because of probability. It really is an element of simple probability. Most neutral observers say 6% of Americans are gay. That makes the probability of any one person not being gay 94% (.94). Assuming that you took PE for four years with a class of 25 with some people being repeating we can call it 75. This is 75 independent events all with the probability of .94. The total probability is .94^75 or 0.00956 which is under 1%. That doesn't even include team sports, boyscouts, band camp or any other activities. Add in those and we are probably at 1 in 1000 or even 1 in 10000. It is simply absurd to think you haven't had a gay guy see you at one time or another. If you weren't bothered then, you won't be now either.

Now let me pose this question:
What if those gays in the public showers were protected by law to announce their gayness? Repealing DADT is about serving it is about bragging about one's gayness and using the power of federal law to punish any who dare complain about having to take a shower with that individual or stand "nut-to-butt" in a 4-man stack outside a door to breach into a room.
You don't want equality, you want the government to punish anyone who complains about it. You want commanders to be required to levy Article 15 charges against any service member that says, "I don't want that fag in the same shower/pup tent/stack as me!"
Liberals told us females could serve anywhere men serve with no ill effects. Thirty years later and a 70% deployed pregnancy rate later we're suppose to take their word that repealing DADT will be just fine.
