Here is the exact question:

If a wartime situation made it necessary for you to share bathroom facilities with an open bay shower with someone you
believe to be a gay or lesbian Service member, which are you most likely to do? Mark 1.


Take no action
Use the shower at a different time than the Service member I thought to be gay or lesbian
Discuss how we expect each other to behave and conduct ourselves
Talk to a chaplain, mentor, or leader about how to handle the situation
Talk to a leader to see if I had other options
Something else
Don't know

BELIEVE to be gay? THOUGHT to be gay? How is this any different from the status quo? What kind of fopolish taxpayer-funded survey is this?

What would the conversation be for the "discussion" option? "Hi. I'm straight and I believe you be to be gay so I expect you to not look at me naked and in exchange my conduct will be not to slug you?

How would a chaplain counsel the delicate straight serviceperson on how to "handle the situation" about showering with a gay?

And what do people think showers do to gay people, make us sex-crazed maniacs?

Again, nice dignified survey, Mr. President and the pentagon.
