This comment thread seems incredibly suspicious and shows a lot of dangerous inconsistencies. The CIA is one of the world's most prestigious institutions and the nature of the criticisms just seems bitter. We're gays and lesbians. And i recognize so many of the names here who pretend to be assimilationists like the "redeyedwarrior" guy. Our job is just to normalize homosexuality, not demand conditions on how they accept it: "you can only accept me as a homosexual IF you accept communism!".

For the person here crying for the blacks...do you think black people are going around saying, "i WONT allow black power and civil rights to advance and expand if you dont put gay rights first!". I dont get the bullshit from the people on here. These problems are global, especially within western civilization. Gays And lesbians werent allowed to join MI5 or MI6 because they were seen as untrustworthy to operate in the most sensitive institutions within britain.

You people sound as ridiculous as those "trans" people who say "gays dont need gay marriage! marriage is ridiculous!". You might not want to join the CIA but encouraging access to highly sensitive and powerful institutions is a sign of progress. I despise the catholic church but if they wanted to make their new pope gay, that would benefit all of us. Do ANY of you even understand how gay rights work?
