Why DADT Needs to Be Kept

Allowing homosexuals to serve openly would be highly detrimental to the armed forces. If the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy is changed there are two possible results. The first is that some men (women) will be forced to room and shower with men (women) who are attracted to men (women). The second is that homosexuals will have separate living quarters/latrine facilities. There are problems with both results:

Result 1: Homosexuals are fully integrated
In this case there will be a dramatic increase in sexual tension, sexual harassment, and sexual assault (and accusations of such). The military already has a problem with this between heterosexual men and women, and they are separated to some extent (living quarters/latrines). If you assume that homosexuality is natural (if you don't then my arguments are only stronger), then it must also be assumed that the strengths of their desires is the same of that of heterosexuals (to say otherwise would imply the homosexuals are somehow better). Now ask yourself what would happen if men and women were not separated in the military, if they had to share rooms and showers? The same thing will logically happen if homosexuals are allowed to serve openly. The only reason men and women are separated is sexual attraction, why would it not be the same for homosexuals? Which brings us to result 2.

Result 2: Homosexuals are separated from other members of their sex
The reason this is a bad idea is quite simple. How much money would this cost (new rooms, possibly barracks, new latrines, ect.)? ALOT Would the small increase in new soldiers outweigh these costs? Probably not. There just aren't enough homosexuals who would join the military if DADT is changed to make up for the costs. Keep in mind that DADT does not bar homosexuals form serving, just from being openly homosexual while serving.
