"On the contrary, these men apparently did NOT serve honorably "

Only because it's defined as dishonarable to be gay and in the military. Let's make that not dishonarable. It's a dumb rule. Besides, isn't it "don't ask, don't tell"? So they were honorable and not that they're retired they are coming out.

Military officers do not have the option of declaring portions of the UCMJ to be “dumb rules.” Whether you think a particular article is “dumb,” or not, only Congress is empowered under the Constitution to change it.

You either “honorably” follow your oath, or you “dishonorably” do not. Your personal preferences are either “honorably” subjugated to the discipline required or you leave the service.

How about bisexuals? Should a bisexual be allowed to carry on in two marriages simultaneously: with a person of each sex?
