Opponents of the current DOD policy like to quote this report in regard to the amount of money reported to have been expended in discharging homosexuals. DOD critics give the impression that homosexuals are separated simply because of a discovered nonthreatening orientation. Having counseled personnel accused of homosexual behavior and having reviewed cases involving charges of homosexuality, I have yet to come across a case where a person was discharged who denied having engaged in homosexual conduct. Consequently, the amount of money expended on separating people because of homosexual behavior would not decrease, but would increase if homosexuals were admitted. There are a number of other statistics that the GAO report did not include.
Statistics give evidence of widespread sexual compulsiveness among homosexual men.
Seventy percent said more than half of their sexual partners were men with whom they had sex only once. Since the onset of AIDS, there does not appear to be a significant decrease in homosexual partnering behavior. Homosexual men are six times more likely to have attempted suicide than are heterosexual men. Studies indicate that between 25 and 35 percent of homosexual men and women are alcoholics. The latest figures available from the Centers for Disease Control show that two-thirds of all AIDS cases are directly attributable to homosexual conduct.
