How does nudity have any part in the discrimination of sex in the office? Answer my questions. Why aren't men and women separated in the office? Why are they separated in the bathroom? Now, every bathroom have stalls and urinal dividers.
Because Nudity was made to be taboo. By the church. What was the first thing Adam and Eve did when they gained knowledge. Covered their junk. It has been made so by the church and continued to be expressed throughout the generations for thousands of years. Which is why I said find me a nude office, clothing is an acceptable counter to the taboo. It has always been this way, forever and ever amen.

Overlooking the fact that you're just making up crap that sounds good to you, your argument is "well that's the way it has always been, so why change?".
Make stuff up? It is fact, and should likely be common knowledge, even to hardcore religious types. The Church enforced the doctrine they wrote chose to include in the bible. They did so in order to control society. Nudity was taboo'd because it said so in the bible. Back in the days where there was no such thing as rights.
Previously men and women shared communal baths, were nude infront of one another, a simple read through any history book will tell you all about historical societies and any read through a recent history book (last 1000 years or so) will tell you of the wonderous things the church did to suppress people and force them to live by rules they deemed were appropriate.

No, this isn't about treating homosexuals differently than their sex, but treating them the same in reference to the situation regardless of their sex. The real reason is about comfort. People don't feel comfortable with the possibility of someone looking at them while being nude. That's the bottom line. So, society has segregated men from women for modesty reasons. Now in 2011, more people are open about their sexuality and so the same concerns exist with men as they do gay men. So, they are treated the same, segregated for comfort reasons in the showers. If this separation occurred in the office, then you could claim unjustified discrimination.
Some people don't feel comfortable being nude in front of anyone, does that mean we should separate the entire world (its a bigger number) into 7-8 billion little personal compartments so everyone is treated the exact same, everyone gets to avoid being social, because maybe 20% of that population was uncomfortable.
It is illogical and inefficient. There are programs in place that allow for the people who are uncomfortable to get comfort. In the military society and in civilian society. There is no special Gay rules, because they are not any different. Gay men are men, Gay women are women. In Canada (because I can't use an example from your *** backwards land of lolliberty) gays and straights have the exact same rights, the exact same rules, and the exact same opportunities. If a straight man is uncomfortable around a gay man in a workplace he tells his super he is uncomfortable working with that person. This is then dealt with. It would be the same if he had an issue with a Straight man, woman or lesbian.

So, if society agreed to the ban of homosexuality in the military, you would be ok with that?
I wouldn't personally, but if the majority chose it to be so than it would be so. I don't think there is anything wrong with homosexuality in any aspect of society, they are just as capable as a straight person and deserve the same rights and opportunities in their lives as I do.
Quote:
Look at nude beaches.. The same argument can be made there, so why are we separating by sex? Oh, that's right, because people do care.
Nude beaches are private, they are outside the domain of public interference. It is the same as if I opened my property to be a nudist colony. There is nothing anyone can do to me. Now if one of my nudist friends decided to go to the store and went naked they could be charged with indecent exposure because of laws that are enforceable on public property.

Dude, really? You're not helping your team.
I am not on a team, I am calling you an idiot on my own. Your idea of separation based on a insignificant amount of real data from your own country, at the same time denying years of data from other countries is ridiculous. You are basing your entire position on hypothetical situation you have concocted to support your ridiculous case that Homosexuals will cause comfort issue for straight people. The data provided to the US by places like Canada, the UK and Australia who have had gays in the military for years does not support your hypothetical situations. It is business as usual. The only way that business won't be as usual is because of preconceived notions that gays are icky or evil. There is nothing that can change peoples mind set on that, not even seperation. These people are bigots and they will remain so until the very end.
