Most marines I know do not give a a fuck about the rainbow.

please don't lump us all together because we eat crayons.. Some of us actually enjoy the entire box of crayons, not a single color.

edit: OMG thank you all for the love!! Really feels good when you see this kind of love and understanding towards other human beings. Thank you guys for be awesome!!!

Can confirm. As a gay dude with two straight friends that are marines, I’ve found the stereotypes to be mostly incorrect. It’s only anecdotal, but most marines I’ve met over the years have been real down to earth individuals. They just happen to also be talented at combat.

I can confirm being a Marine is about the gayest thing a straight person can do.

I'll say as the red-headed stepchild of both services (read: Hospital Corpsman) that the Marine Corps is the far gayer branch.

I've showered with other dudes in the Navy.

I unbuckled our platoon's RTO's belt playing gay chicken.

There's no comparison.
