I like Dennis Miller’s view on the subject. On the Bill O’Reilly show one evening during a discussion about the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy before it was lifted, Miller said: ...“And I’m enamored of any person, a young person, a lesbian, straight, gay guy who wants to go over and kill bad guys for me and my family. That blows me away. So I, honest to God, believe if you ask most of the soldiers, yes, there’d be some kids who say this weirds me. I think the vast majority of them would say, like most kids today, it’s not a big-ticket item for me.
“You know, if you’re gay, you’re gay, Billy. It’s my Dennis Miller theory of homosexuality shot through the movie “Boy and the Dolphin.” If you’re a 12-year-old boy and you’re watching the movie “Boy and a Dolphin” and a 27-year-old Sofia Loren crawls up out of the Aegean Sea after sponge diving, she’s standing there in the deck of the boat in a see-through gauze top, rivulets of water dripping off her torso onto the deck of the boat. If you’re a 12-year-old boy and you’re watching that and you still want to make it with the captain of the boat, you’re gay. You can’t fight that. So it is what it is.”
O’REILLY: I think you should testify in front of Congress.
