Wtf. Gays don't bother me I could care less as long as I do t get hit on. With the religion thing it's a fine line. I don't believe we should bend the rules in 670-1 and allow someone to grow a big ass beard because it's part if their religion. The only reason being is there will be all kinds of idiot privates who will get Muslim put on their dog tags just so they can grow a beard. We have regulations on uniforms for a reason not just to be dicks.
1. It's "couldn't care less".
2. That guy is most likely Sikh.
