The problem that Murphy is trying to deal with here is the military were
claiming that homosexuals were not trusted by straight people. And so they
can't be relied upon to "cover my back." That is, each one's life depends on
the others. My fear is the other way. That openly gay people will be the ones
whose backs are not covered. Many people here fear or hate gay people. Of
course, they have dealing with them, social interaction and they think they are
fine people until they find out. And many religions here teach that they are
just willfully disobeying God. If you are a religious Christian soldier, a gay
comrade might be hard to take. Exceptions to this view are many young people,
who know gay people, and I was just reading that quite a few young are leaving
churches. I do not know why.

Which is back to V. Caley.
And Murphy's wording:
"If I'm homosexual, I can still do my job" -- as a soldier, he meant.
Was he right? Of course he was! Who would have thought elsewise?
Recall the Amazons: an army of lesbians!

Esther VIllar was born in Buenos Aires. They hate her DOWN HERE!
On the other hand, I am reading Lady Susana Walton's memoir -- she died last
month. "I loved my husband [Sir William Walton -- Susana was born in Buenos
Aires]. He had his little things, though. As when he made me have an abortion.
He argued that children made him 'physically ill'"
I suppose versus 'mentally ill' which we have ALL made our parents (at one
time or other). Brave Susana!
