This paper presents a description and analysis of military policy excluding lesbians and gay men. First, we discuss the current policy, review its official rationale, and outline the various criticisms that have been made against it. Next, we suggest an alternative framework for the policy's persistence. Drawing on work in feminist theory, we argue that the military's restrictions on the service of lesbians and gay men reflects an institutional and cultural privileging of a heterosexual masculine ideal. We conclude by speculating on the interests that lie behind the perpetuation of this ideal of soldiering.
本文对排斥女同性恋者和男同性恋者的军事政策进行了描述和分析。首先，我们讨论当前政策，审视其官方理由，并概述针对该政策的各种批评。接下来，我们为该政策的持续存在提出一个替代框架。借鉴女性主义理论的研究成果，我们认为军队对女同性恋者和男同性恋者服役的限制反映了一种对异性恋男性理想的制度性和文化性偏袒。我们通过推测这种军人理想持续存在背后的利益因素来得出结论。
