I would consider joining the military as long as I didn't have to go to war. It would be more for character- and bodybuilding. I would join whether the policy was in place or not because a simple policy will not change the way the majority of the military views the GLBT community. I do not come from a military family and I think it is very heroic of people who come out after their military experience. I could not imagine living a lie throughout my time in the military, but if I really wanted to be in the armed forces, I would sadly choose not to disclose my sexual orientation because I am not as strong as others. Ideally, the general public would not view GLBT persons as sexaholics who cannot control themselves in the homoerotic environment of the military.
I would never be a priest. First of all, I was raised Lutheran and not Catholic. Second, church is more of a personal environment than the military and my personal life may be more open in a religious setting where I am the head of the services. I'm not sure what God's views are actually because so many different viewpoints are out there and it is difficult to figure out which one to believe. People should definitely try to cut down on sinning, not the sinners. No, I would not apply for any faith based position because that is not my interest and I would not feel comfortable as a gay male.
