Jason Notte did an interview with Brad Luna of the Human Rights Campaign about the military's Don't Ask Don't Tell policy that ran on page 9 of this morning's Metro.

Notte's last—somewhat bewildering—question for Luna: "Are you concerned that the [effort to repeal the military's DADT policy] may end in another compromise, like segregated units?"

I thought that's what the Navy was invented for.

But seriously now. I don't know that anyone's suggested or imagined units segregated by sexual preference—but personally, I LOVE the idea! The only thing is I don't think it would be fair to the straight units, the gay ones would be looking so cute in their little uniforms:


...which would come in lots of fabulous colors to blend with all the fabulous surroundings, like the sex clubs and quaint little cafes and boutiques you'd just have to have on the gay aircraft carriers and the gay bases...


...and the gay troops would be having so much fun back in the barracks...


No, it would never do. As in civilian life there's no such thing as separate but equal. The gay units would soon be reviled not only for their fashion acumen, but for their superior masculine specimens.  You'd start hearing, "all the good-looking grunts are gay."

No, it's clearly not fair to put straight troops at such a disadvantage and at increased risk by removing so many of the best soldiers from their midst.
