US Marines Chief: 90-95% of Marines are homophobic, according to “informal polls”

Gen. James Conway told Fox News that “90 to 95 percent of the Marines” would be uncomfortable serving with openly gay Marines, according to his “informal polls.”

The polls Conway is referring to are impromptu surveys by a “show of hands” in town hall style meetings.

Conway is against repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, since he believes his Marines are.

Out of the 20,000 United States Marines in Afghanistan, he said he “wouldn’t hazard a guess” as to how many are gay. He said the number is probably in the “low single digits.”
