I think Gay people should have more rights. I remember when I was in the Navy in the 80s, the Navy had everyone tested for AIDS. If a person even looked like they might be gay they were openly taunted and called a fag in front of everyone. I actually took legal action against one person for interfering with my job, calling me a fag, and threatening to kill me. At the legal proceeding the captain asks me if I was prejudiced. I thought that was pretty bad after the person had called me a fag and threatened to kill me. The staff actually told me that if I did not drop the charges that they (The U.S. Navy) would make life miserable for me. I didn't back down and I followed through with the charges. I'm not gay but I am quite and keep things to myself a lot. I think anything that is done to help gay people is great. They have been discriminated against too much.
