text: are gay men in the united states exempt from the draft? if the us military were to start up the draft and i were selected could i get out of it by telling them that i'm gay?  and if so would they need some kind of proof?  or would they draft me anyway? they're probably not going to draft again simply because the question is....what about women? if they didn't draft women it would be insulting. but they couldn't just choose women at random because of the whole mother thing. it's a sticky situation.
