      So, in red countries, straight people have to serve and in the case of war they are in high risk to die or to be seriously injured, and LGBT people are safe? Red countries discriminate straight people.

      In Russia, military service is mandatory for men, so it’s very difficult to prove that you’re truly an LGBT person and not just pretending to be one. There are not very qualified psychiatrists who want to prove that you’re fit for service.

      Source: I’m a Russian citizen, and I’m soon going to be of military age, so I’ve done a lot of research on this topic.

      P.S. I’m not very fluent in English, so my answers may not be very grammatically correct or eloquent, as they were translated using a simple Google translator.

      In practice most LGBT in Greece get I5,which means they are unable/inadequate for service.

      Military service is mandatory and even though I5 has it’s consequences,in Greece word is that most LGBT people will fake mental illness or to get an I5 in other ways and not serve.

      In Finland gay men are REQUIRED to either serve in the military or do a civil service just as straight men are due to the conscription laws

      I never understood what seems to be the problem the army has with one’s sexuality?

      For Turkiye, there is more like a “don’t ask, don’t tell” type policy. Military service is mandatory, but you can choose to be exempt from it if you claim that you are homosexual. If you don’t use this right, nothing stops you from serving.

      After all, Turkiye has a Navy too! (Just kidding!)

      In Russia, homosexuals and bisexuals can serve because queer sexuality is no longer considered a mental disorder. Transgender people have gender dysphoria which is considered a mental disorder and makes you unfit for service (this is how I avoided mandatory one-year service btw)

      Why would LGBT people be banned from serving in the army? What arguments are even given here? Also, wouldn’t this be an easy excuse? Like, I won’t go to war cuz I feel gay.

      Tops are not banned in Turkiye, only the bottoms.

      YES, it is someone’s job to watch gay sex videos 7/24 to confirm who is bottom and who is top.

      First of all, how do they prove if you’re lgb or not? And second of all, lgb people can serve in turkey, but only if they’re the top.

      in Turkey you can serve if you are active (top) not passive ( bottom )
      They check

      Kind of wild to me that depending on who I want sucking my dick, it’s the difference between being allowed to serve my country.

      The equivalent of saying, no you drink coffee not tea so you cannot be allowed to be a mechanic.

      What

      When my friend officially changed his legal sex to male, he got the draft letter before he got the letter notifying him the change had gone through.
