Nobody is saying gay ment should not be allowed in the police force. Nobody is saying that men who like to wear ear rings should not be allowed in the police force. They are saying that those ear rings should be removed while on duty. Please, if you want to argue by analogy do try to use one that is at least a little equivalent.

2. The police force lose repect in various ways, just because people prejudge people who wear earrings doesnt mean they should be pandered too. Still applies to women as well.

Aha, the promise of a logical argument ... I agree with you. In my opinion it is an unjustified prejudice on the part of those who think men wearing ear rings is wrong. However I do not think that the premise that the prejudice is unjustified leads necessarily to the conclusion that it is wrong to ban only men from wearing ear rings. The problem of lack of respect for the police is far more potentially damaging than the problem of some people being prejudiced against men wearing ear rings.

5. No, the immature attitude is that its wrong for men to wear earrings in general.

Another fallacy. It
may be immature to believe there is something wrong with men wearing ear rings, but it does not therefore follow that it is
not immature to decide to ban everyone from doing something simply because there are good reasons to stop one group of people from doing it.

By which you demonstrate that you really are not capable of forming a reasoned argument to back up your point of view. That said, I can see I am wasting my time trying to carry on a debate with you on this subject.
