Can anyone explain what it means to be “openly gay” in the military?
Currently under DADT, homosexuals can serve but not openly. If they engage in homosexual acts or show a likeliness to do so, they can be booted. If they remain strictly celebate, they are OK.
I assume "openly" means that they would be free to engage in homosexual acts with impunity.
Coming out of the closet and expecting special rights.
