    What’s gay to civilians is brotherhood in the Army. What’s gay to the Army is brotherhood in the Navy. What’s gay to the Navy is illegal.

      Situational sexuality.

      I remember a recent convo (last ten years) regarding an elderly British couple talking about the rise of LGBT+ issues in politics,

      HUSBAND: It’s actually refreshing to see the young people openly talking about it. WIFE: I don’t think we’ve ever known anyone like that. Do we? HUSBAND: Dear, I was in the navy for ten years.

      If you think about it, it’s very much a thing in parochial schools as well.
