Afraid the tables might be turned?

Many people, such as McCain, want to keep the ban on gays in the military. Their reasoning essentially comes down to the straight soldiers are afraid they will be raped by the gay ones. That fear is called projecting. It seems to appear a lot when discussing gay issues. According to studies funded by the Department of Veteran Affairs, 30% of military women are raped, 71% are sexually assaulted, 90% are sexually harassed, with perhaps only 10% of all these incidents reported. Straight soldiers are well aware of what gets done to the women around them (they may even participate). They are afraid that they will be treated in the same way they treat women. Sorry, guys, gay men aren't that interested in straight men.
