An interesting subtext

....Ann Coulter asks, without entirely asking, whether there might indeed be a very good reason to ask about sexual orientation among soldiers and diplomats.  She does not present statistical information, but the anecdotal evidence suggests that a survey or two of historical evidence might be in order.

Also of interest; General Mullen suggests that soldiers must either agree with a new policy or get out.  No word, of course, on what a reduction in force of up to 60% of combat troops--the proportion of combat troops disagreeing with the proposed policy change--would do to military readiness. 

Finally, a new study from nature finds that birds exposed to methyl mercury are more likely to engage in homosexual behavior.  This is probably the most damaging study for the hypothesis of a genetic link to homosexuality since the LaVey identical twins study that found only 50% correlation between identical genes and homosexuality.
