I was thinking about males.
Everybody does. The reality is that when talking about "gays in the military", we're really talking about lesbians. I'd say at least 75%-90% of all the gays serving in today's military are lesbians. Face it, military life just isn't that appealing to prancing, lisping effeminate men. Butch, masculine lesbians, on the other hand, find the rigors of military life just what they're looking for and line up in droves to serve. They are the ones getting kicked out for being gay. They are the ones who will be able to serve openly when this policy changes (even though, in many cases, their individual sexuality has been no secret).
I've done carrier deployments and I could tell you some stories...
