Special rights for heterosexual service members

Many people lament the injustice of special rights that are given to minorities by Hate Crimes bills and non-discrimination policies. Minorities need to instead toughen up, suck it up (except in the sexual sense), and be man enough to tolerate the "insults" -- harmless comments meant purely in jest, in the spirit of mutual cultural understanding -- issued to them; these little "offensive remarks" are, after all, a fact of life, and anyway insignificant. Any attempt to prevent their expression would be coddling the victims and denying Constitutional rights to the perpetrators.

Interestingly, many of these same concerned citizens also are furious about the possible ending to Don't Ask, Don't Tell, for it would subject heterosexual service members to insufferable and de-humanizing agony -- the sudden onslaught of passing glances and lewd remarks (that is standard fare for women to receive from heterosexual men) from homosexuals in the locker room would suddenly deplete our soldiers of their morale, their will to succeed on the battlefield, their moral compass, and their patriotism. We must protect these poor straight soldiers because they might die if somebody checks out their ass.
