‘Owl’ thought he’d become part of a military family as an army soldier. But when his sexuality made him the target of abuse by his colleagues, he was pushed to breaking point.

Worst thing to do as a gay man is to hide it and go in the army 😔I don’t get these masks because you can still see their outline of their face/features. All it takes is someone who worked in their field to recognise them. Isn’t actually good privacy
They blur the picture on the guy's shirt but they don't blur or at least hide more of the facial features for the man wearing the mask so he doesn't get found out.

As a gay guy in my 40s, I done many public displays of affection were people might have been uncomfortable because I was with another guy. But I always do it thinking that there may be a young guy like me out there seeing that I'm not afraid to be who I am

But with respect, you are living your life, the other guy is living his - and it might be a totally different set of circumstances he is in - you can't know.

So am a solider in Australia and you have no idea the amount of "straight guys" who love playing with me, definitely alot of internalised homophobia

People have low emotional intelligence.
I have to dispute one aspect of this soldiers story. He implies he was sent to Afghanistan at the age of 16. I believe that under 18's are not sent to war zones. His mind must have been at fault here, or something went wrong in the editing process.
He basically said he was. Out. So why the mask it undermines the entire narrative of what he discussed.
why does he have to wear the stupid mask? cant you hide his face in a normal way

TV loves masks at the moment - the Masked Singer/The Masked Dancer - their latest fad. I don't like it, but I dislike that disguised voice even more - it is distracting and annoying

I've met many gay people in the forces and have never seen hatred towards them. In the forces "banter" is a part of life and anything which singles you out will be a focus point by your colleagues. Ultimately you need to be mentally robust and people who are gay and normal are no different to anyone else. I have seen people who want to make a big thing about their sexuality and they are the ones who others, instead of being hostile to them, pander to them or distance themselves as they do not want to get tangled up in the problems some of these people seem hell bent on creating. As long as you are a good soldier and colleague in work, nobody cares where you stick your bits out of work time. 👉👈

I agree and disagree with this statement. One because yes he should have done some extreme thinking about who he REALLY is before he went to the army because only the strong survive and you have to be a little stronger once you decide to have everyone know your business.

People like you are the reason people take their own life. They open up after keeping it in for so many years and people like you just shut them out. Clearly you don’t support gays.
