Actually, you'll find overwhelming support for women and gays in the military within the Canadian military--and only a tiny minority who believe that, in fully reflecting Canadian values (by not discriminating on the basis of gender or sexual orientation)--the military is somehow victim of a "social experiment." Indeed, if there were to be a "social experiment" it would be to exclude these groups from full participation in national defence on the basis of the prejudices of a bygone age.

It would also make very little sense to exclude over half of the otherwise eligible national population from contributing their skills, energy, and commitment to the Canadian Forces--it would rather like fighting with one hand tied behind your back.
