They don't really affect people in the military at all. In fact, many of the people IN the military are gay. Gay relationships have no effect on anybody else, but the people they concern. Homophobes THINK that gays have a direct effect on them, but they really don't. I have a feeling that the next generation will look with embarrassment on their homophobic ancestors, just as we look with embarrassment on our racist ancestors.
