Cause people were never afraid of black people wanting to sexually harass them? A lot of homophobia comes from sexist guys being afraid of other guys treating them the way that those sexist guys treat women.

They might not have been scared of sexual harrassment, but I bet the "worst case scenario" back in 1950 seemed a lot worse - on both sides, BTW - than anything that would happen today. I don't think that repealing DADT would result in people getting killed; that was a legitimate concern in 1950. The armed forces did manage somehow, though.

Also, women in the military had all these same problems *and* needed to get their own barracks, restrooms, etc. at the military's expense. Once again, they managed it with no loss of life or morale. What's the holdup?
