Say it isn't so!
Note what the article says - it isn't exactly a comfortable atmosphere in the Royal Navy at the moment for gays to be out of the closet. I think this Admiral is off his rocker; I have sincere doubts that in spite of his efforts that even if more do come out of the closet, it will be any more comfortable.
To conclude, it's another social engineering attempt on a branch of the armed forces that obviously is resisting "change". It is very likely to fail - and homosexuals in the Navy would be well advised to remain closeted.
