In my opinion, there are few, the force is a very macho place and opening up as a homosexual can cause many problems, I think there are very few who are open to the possibility of being sincere in the military.

I think there are few, but in my personal belief the military should include that selection among gender indications, I believe it is necessary to start accepting homosexuality in the military, even if it is on paper.

Even though homosexuality is widely accepted in our country, few soldiers are openly gay.

It is a very sensitive issue in the force, if you say that you are homosexual there will always be the stigma that they may not accept you, or they may accept you but you feel that everything bad that happens to you is because you said you were gay. It is a complicated subject.

In New Orleans we have a movement of acceptance of homosexuals in the military, it is enough to suffer with the issue of anxiety as a military man without adding anxiety not because you don't know yourself.

In general, there appears to be an increasing acceptance of openly gay male soldiers in the military, with many countries now legally allowing them to serve openly. This is a positive development, as it allows gay soldiers to serve their country without having to hide their identity or live in fear of discrimination or harassment.

uplifting

There are not many openly gay male soldiers. Homophobia is still rampant and hate crimes are no stranger to military bases. If you're gay and plan on coming out, just try to be safe and not risk your wellbeing.

smart

There is no definitive answer to this question as it largely depends on the individual military unit in question. However, in general, it is safe to say that there are more openly gay male soldiers today than ever before. This is due, in part, to the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell in 2011 and the increasing acceptance of LGBT individuals in society as a whole.

There are still many units where being openly gay can be a risky proposition, so it is important for any soldier considering coming out to do so cautiously and with the support of friends and family. If you feel safe, then you shouldn't worry about what others might think.

Very few that I’ve run across in my 6 years in the Air Force

I mean what is the time of the year where requirements in most of the companies are at pick?

Like in Dec and March you will see less requirement due to Christmas and financial year ending. Similar what is the best period?
