All of you do realize that non-LGBT people are welcome to join Pink Pistols, right? In light of that, can you please explain what the issue is?

Well, then I guess what is the point of the organization? I just went and read the wikipedia page, and I can't figure out why it exists? I just don't understand what sexuality has to do with guns? Can anyone explain that? I mean, I know guns are sexY, but they aren't sexUAL, right? I guess I can see the irony of the whole liberal-vs-conservative issue, that is kinda quaint. The conflicting agendas. But I don't think that most conservatives are anti-gay per se, I think they are just anti-public-sexuality. I get it that in other areas of life, your sexuality causes you challenges (partner in the hospital, for example). Is there such a problem in the gun community? yeah, we probably have a few good ol' boys left that haven't died off yet. Relics of another time. But I feel like, by and large, and especially in the OC community, there is nothing but inclusion. So it seems strange to me that there needs to be a junction where guns meets sexuality.
I'm gonna branch off on an even less popular but related topic: Sexuality in the military. (note I did not say GAYS in the military)
Was I the only one who thought DADT was the right policy? Before you get all excited, hear me out.
DADT was just misinterpreted/applied. It shouldn't have applied to Gays, it should have applied to EVERYONE. In other words, I don't care what you f.... You are a soldier, not a sex machine. Well, you might be a sex machine, but it has nothing to do with your soldiering. So keep that sh.. to yourself. Gay/Straight/Midget-Monger, I don't care. My ancestors that served in the military were not Straight Soldiers, they were Soldiers. I don't want any Gay or Straight soldiers. I want soldiers. Anyone willing to serve this country in the armed forces is already good in my book. I don't need to know what you do with your weewee. Is that really unreasonable? Why does a segment of our population suddenly think that their sexual identity belongs in public view? Oh, and yes, I realize that part of DADT was that if someone was found out to be gay, they were still kicked out. That part was f'ing stupid. I thinnk we can all agree on that part. Like I said, I don't care what you f..., if you desire to serve this country, and help protect me and my rights, you are good in my book. Hell, in actual fact, the few gay folks I have known to serve tended to make the uniform look pretty good. I know that's probably an overblown stereotype, but not a bad one.
If you expect your agenda of inclusion/acceptance to succeed, then the only Gay clubs that should exist are Strip clubs. No, I probably wont attend, but I entirely respect your right to want to check out the weewees of whatever floats your boat. I do on occasion visit such clubs, and I am entirely in favor of such behavior. In a proper, private, adults-only club, or the comfort of your own home. Ok, maybe I can imagine a few other scenarios where Gay would be a valid characteristic of membership(support groups, for example). But Guns? Really? Who cares? I just don't see the need for it. Is there a political agenda that differs from the rest of the gun-enthusiast community (like OC vs CC)? I was going to use Left-handed people as a funny example, but then I realized that even they have a more valid reason to form a gun club...
FWIW, the banner at the top, with the various folks open carrying, is awesome. I dont know if those two hotties on the right are lesbian or not. Don't care. I'm just glad they are carrying. They are welcome at any shoot I go to. They are welcome in my reindeer games.
I understand that I may be welcome to join the pink pistols. But what is our agenda? Why are we separate from the rest of the fine, already established gun communities? I think if someone can answer this, I might be able to better understand this issue. See, not closed-minded, I just haven't been convinced.
Oh, and before somebody gives me sh.. for using the term "midget", I don't know the currently accepted terminology. In any event, it was not meant to be derogatory. If I was a midget, I would OC a S&W 500, or a Desert Eagle. I would carry that sh.. in a scabard on my back, like he-man. And smoke bombs, like the ninjas use. And a pigsticker in my boot for cutting achilles heels. I'd be like yoda.
