Personally, I don't care much if they're straight or gay per se so much as if they ever come on to another man while in the military. If that ever happens, IMO, they should be discharged at once.
Would you discharge a male that came on to a female?

Would you discharge a male that came on to a female?Nope, but then the majority are still heterosexuals. The military is no place to practice "tolerance" of deviant behavior. The men have to trust each other with their very lives. I think that kind of and level of distraction within a unit would simply get people killed. I feel the same way about women in fighting units too, BTW. There have been some very good threads on that subject already.
It all revolves around the purpose and mission of the military. Kinda like the old saying, "We aren't here to practice democracy, but to defend it."
