This review is from: Exclusion: Homosexuals and the Right to Serve (Hardcover)
This book is just rational-sounding rehash of all the military's ridiculous arguments for excluding lesbians and gay men from the military. And being a woman is supposed to somehow excuse her bigotry. It's sad seeing her use the feminist hyphenated last name, when clearly her use of that name is to scream to the world that she's married (read: heterosexual, read: not gay in the slightest). This book repeats all kinds of crazy, outdate studies about gay male promiscuity. She might as well have spoken about Richard Gere and hamsters while she was at it. She assumes that all gays, especially gay men, are sex addicts and never once explains why being a man and having had sex with a man somehow makes one unworthy. This book is ridiculous; I pat myself on the back for having the strength to have finished reading it. Further, the author fails to notice any of the outstanding writing about discrimination in the military written by feminists and lesbian writers. Definitely be ready to be horrified if you ever glance at this mess!
