No one is suggesting leaving morals, or character at home, the suggestion is to leave as much of your personal
life and business at home.  It serves little to any purpose within CAP's mission for others to know your martial status, job status,
how many kids you have, what religion, ethnicity, political persuasion, or who you favor in the next World Cereal Bowl.

And along with leaving yours at home, MYOB about everyone else.

People are judgemental, CAP does not.

People can't be judegmental about things they have no knowledge of.

CAP is supposed to be a performance culture, not a rec center or a social club.

Did I misread it? My apologies, I thought you said "all"...

Further to the above, CAP, just like the military, private business, and most similar organizations, is not a forum to
try and right the wrongs of society, or make political statements or grandstanding for the sake of it.

If people are treated unfairly, or violate regulations, there are procedures to deal with that, but there is no place
for people in CAP who simply want to make noise about issues which CAP did not create, control, and has no power to influence.

..and all this time, I thought this thread was about in general, making a visit to another squadron meeting.

Sometimes I tend to be judgmental.

I'm working on it, though.

Seriously, I've had to remind myself that that isn't the case.

I agree with others that if you would not normally discuss your heterosexual orientation in CAP, then why should it be any different with your homosexual orientation? Your orientation, while important to you, is irrelevant to CAP. Public display of affection (PDA) in uniform is prohibited regardless of your sexual orientation, so that should be a non-issue. We should treat everyone with respect regardless of our own personal, political or religious belief. All that matters in CAP is that you continue to perform satisfactorily.
