Separating gays from non-gays is stupid. The only time I showered in open bay showers in 14 1/2 years in the Navy is the 6 months or so that I spent on JMSDF ships.
I've seen less than 5 naked Americans in all my years at sea. It just doesn't happen all that much.

Good for her. I'm glad she will be spared the indignity of dealing with USCIS. They would have treated her like a criminal and done nothing to help her come to America. I'm glad she was given special assistance.

There's another ice storm brewing for Kentucky and Tennessee too. We're looking at 3" of snow on top of a half inch of ice. Driving is going to be a nightmare for a couple of days.

That's pure speculation. At this point, we don't know what happened. It could have been one of the barbers that ended up accidentally killing the mother.
Either way, it's a tragedy.
