"Would repeal of DADT nullify this punitive article? "

The short answer is no. However, if DADT is repealed, the lifespan of Art. 125 is probably not very long. If the appellate courts affirm the recent prohibition against DADT, then I'd say Art. 125 would be struck within a few months.

You might be surprised that very few (virtually none) separations under DADT include this particular specification. Almost always, it's used against someone who is engaged in heterosexual relations, albeit not always consensual relations.
