No they never 'clear lower decked' the establishment. That would have killed me. I am still waiting to see what punishment that i going to get for the 'scandal' i committed. Although the good news is the whole of the LGBT community in the RN knows who i am (is that good or bad??) Well thanks for you kind words as usual.

If you're still tuned in I offer my belated congratulations for a great result in the competition.

I'm sorry, conservatives, but it made 5/8ths of fuck-all difference to how they did their job or interacted with their colleagues. About the only 'concession' made to their preference was the use of neutral words like 'partner' when issuing barbecue invitations - and that's just basic manners in the real world anyway. My colleagues didn't define themselves by their sexuality, so much as their obvious pride in being sailors, soldiers or airmen. I think the Colonel Blimps imagine that every homosexual is an indiscriminate sexual predator who cannot restrain their impulses, and therefore becomes a menace in communal showers, etc. That ain't true; almost everyone in the forces, gay or straight, showed respect for one another's personal space in my experience. (Except when it came to bootnecks having roll-mat fights, but they're weird.) And don't gay & lesbian people have, erm, standards too? The only sexual harassment cases I was aware of during my time in uniform involved middle-aged male hetero officers and young female troops. Anyway, 'welcome aboard', Sam; you seem a nice bloke, and judging by your photos you're an excellent role model as a PTI. As far as I'm concerned, you're a good bit of PR for the RN. However, I must admit I'm concerned about how you found this site; have you been Googling yourself? Vanity is a sin, young man.
