Question

Are open g**s allowed to serve in the German military?

Answer 1

legaly allowed? most definetely.

Answer 2

"Military laws

Homosexuals are not banned from military service (conscripts and enlisted).

The Bundeswehr maintained a "glass ceiling" policy that effectively banned homosexuals from becoming officers until 2000. First Lieutenant Winfried Stecher, an army officer demoted for his homosexuality, had filed a lawsuit against former Defense Minister Rudolf Scharping. Scharping vowed to fight the claim in court, claiming that homosexuality "raises serious doubts about suitability and excludes employment in all functions pertaining to leadership." However, before the case went to trial, the Defense Ministry reversed the discriminatory policy. While the German government declined to issue an official explanation for the reversal, it is widely believed that Scharping was overruled by former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and former Vice-Chancellor Joschka Fischer."

Answer 3

Sorry don`t know.... g*y are a problem in the imagination of "real" men. We have less places for soldiers than boys for our army therefore that is not a real problem in Germany.

Answer 4

Yes, they are. However, they still have a hard time serving as there is still a lot of prejudice that needs to be worked on.

Also, a career is nearly impossible. So if you want to be simple soldier, it's fine but you won't make to General or something similar. g*y people are still considered too weak for that job.

Answer 5

It's strange that a country once ruled and ruled well by a homosexual (Frederick the Great) is so anti-g*y.It's curious too that the former East Germany did away with the laws against homosexuality much earlier than West Germany did.What is the peculiarity in the western mind that is so homophobic?

Answer 6

NO

Answer 7

In Europe, it is NORMAl for EVERY Man to have homosexual experiences.

That is what their WIVES tell me.

Anyway,

That study is biased.It was conducted by a Center devoted to proving that having g**s openly in the military is OK. Michael D. Palm Center. Read about it. Biased and unscientific.

The officers who support this are g*y themselves or have g*y children which is a stupid reason to support behavior like this.

No, I am not afraid of g**s. I am averse to them.
