Imagine having to get several dozen flamingly gay dancers and singers all in one spot, in proper costume, at the right time, performing incredibly complicated dance and song routines , without any cat fights or hissy fits amongst them and with you. Co-Ordinate the on stage activities with the gay orchestra and the backstage set crews. Execute the whole thing in front of an audience of several hundred extermely wealthy gay people who paid outrageous prices for tickets to see your show and critics who are just waiting to tear it apart in tomorrow's papers............

Your postulation concerning "gay" theater performers is totally irrelevant.

There is no law requiring these performers to carry out orders that may mean their own deaths or that of others. There is no law that says that they must share gang showers or open bay barracks with "straights" who religiously object to their activities or find their activities disgusting. There is no requirement for "straight" people to render first aid under battlefield conditions to these queers that could result in the infection of the aid render with HIV.

In the military, these constraints exist. That is why your analogy fails miserably.
