Well to try to get back on topic, As a gay man who has served in the military, This may come as a shock but I think allowing openly gay men and women in the military can have some dangerous consequences . Now let me clarify here, if you are defined by your sexuality , you are going to run into trouble no matter where your at, whether it's the military or the private sector.
Those gay men and women that are already serving in the military are doing more good for gay people everywhere by not being labeled, they build close bonds and ties with their units, people get to know them as a soldier and a human being without the stigma of being labeled gay , so as those that get to know them uasully find out that their gay, but not until they get to know and respect the individual. Which I think really was the intent of the don't ask don't tell policy.
