While I have not paid attention to the actual show itself, the show on MTV, Tila Tequila’s Shot at Love. This show is about an Internet star that is bisexual, and looking to find the woman or man of her dreams. This does not have a direct relation to the war in Iraq, being that the show is a reality dating show. But the topic definitely has a relation to political and military controversies.
Bottom line is that sexual preference is a huge issue in the military today. Homosexuals are very persecuted in America’s armed forces, whether you are a woman or a man. Homosexual men are not allowed to enter the military; they have named it “a mental disorder. “ (http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/0621-06.htm).
I personally find this outrageous. I feel that anyone who wants to serve his or her country should be given the opportunity. When it comes down to it, they function just as anyone else would, sexual preference aside; they are able to fire a gun, work on a computer, and lead people just as any heterosexual would be able to.
