Do they get a month?
I don't think so. Women get a week. Any problems with that?

Surely women get a week every month??
there is an LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) history month. Every February.

Hardly common knowledge or even widely accepted.
It's not a competition about who gets the most time. Soldiers, mostly, become soldiers and know what they are getting into. Gay people do not choose to be thrown into a scenario where they may be attacked or killed just for being who they are.

true, but
both world wars had conscription, so not a lot of choice there either.
Maybe it's just where I work that pushes it, others as you say may not be so aware.

War is a man made construct. Homosexuality isn't.
I respect more the conscientiousness objector than the soldier. But being half German, I would say that wouldn't I.

Agreement to your first point is dependent on if you believe homosexuality is genetic or a result of childhood nurture.

Is it fuck nurture.
If that was the case then every sibling would be gay too.

I have a nephew who is gay.
We guessed as much from the age of six. His brother is straight.

Only if all the children in that family were treated the same. I know a couple of people who are gay and so are all their siblings (sometimes only one sibling in total).

Imagine you are born a soldier and are aware that because of it you may die or be persected.
Hardly the same.
