So it would be very hard to make any such connection.

To me anyone trying to make it are the ones that were jumping up and down because GASP gays might be allowed to be happy while serving in the military!

Has there been any assaulted BECAUSE they have come out as homosexual? Probably but I can't say for certain, just because we are in the military doesn't make us any better people...we are really just a microcosm of society as a whole.
