The poll found that 57 percent of US voters believe that gays should serve openly, an idea opposed by 36 percent.

Americans also believe by a 66 to 31 percent margin that it is discriminatory to prevent openly gay men and women to serve.

However, by a 54 to 38 percent margin, those surveyed also believe that gays serving in the military should limit displaying their sexual orientation on the job.

If 66% believe it's discriminatory to prevent openly gay persons from serving then why isn't there the same 66% that say gays should be allowed to serve openly?

And how can a gay serve openly if they have to hide their orientation on the job? This poll makes no sense.
