Like many, it appears that you have fallen prey to the language twisters. You have equated so-called "homosexual orientation" (to use the common term) with being homosexual. The two are not the same.

As for your quote of scripture, you are confusing a religious or philosphopical injunction with a secular legal one. In the "secular legal realm" a crime requires an intent AND an action. In the absence of both, there is no crime. In some cases the existence of the action implies the existence of the intent, but never the reverse.

You probably know more about the topic than I do. But I do know a guy who acknowledges that he is gay because of his inclinations, but is still a virgin (he's a devout Catholic) It is quite possible that these officers are in the same category. For some reason you are assuming that just because they are admitting to be gay they have performed sodomy.

Further, you are also assuming that they knew they were gay when they entered the military as teenagers. It is also possible that they neither we sure of their orientation nor acted upon it when they joined.
