Gay men should not be allowed to serve openly in the military, but lesbians should be welcome because it would give straight male soldiers a chance to “convert” them, suggested a former Tennessee official in an online commentary. Joe Rehyansky posted his commentary last week on The Daily Caller, a right wing website. The site has since removed the part of the article that pertained to lesbian service members. “In the original article, Rehyansky concluded that his lesbians-only policy ‘would get the distaff part of our homosexual population off our collective ‘Broke Back,’ thus giving straight male GIs a fair shot at converting lesbians and bringing them into the mainstream,” he said.
