Ferk You Too

Here’s what I think: It’s to keep things easy to manage.

Here’s the thing: you have a manage database of every single serviceman/woman in your branch of military. Uh-oh, what’s this? A new field? Great. Now you have to go back and enter each one’s sexual orientation.

At best, it will take you years. And who can think of any better activity than scrolling through a MySQL database entering…

• Gay.
• Straight.
• Straight.
• Straight.
• Gay.
• Straight.
• God knows what?

And that’s if you have a GUI to work with! What if you’re not even that lucky?
——————-

mysql> ALTER table navy ADD orientation VARCHAR(10);
mysql> UPDATE navy
-> SET orientation = 'gay'
-> WHERE id = 1;

——————-
That, times a few million. Times four. Plus however much more time it will take for new recruits.

It’s not that I don’t support gays going into the military, I’m just stating a possible reason as to why they’re trying to keep them out.
