2. To the bigoted mindset of the Junta, gays *are* a bigger threat

4. They are afraid that a bunch of LGBTs will convince the military
that it is better to make love than to make war.

Police state anyone?

7. In Imperial Amerika, all but Party members
are under surveillance.

Something to remember for if it isn't 100% the case now, it will be soon.
