Open sexuality and sexual orientation have always been a part of the military:
Examples:
1.

2. The common knowledge that military men were having sex with women (and other men) domestically and abroad.
3. Then when women were able to join the military, some heterosexual military men were thrilled to be able to have sex with some of the heterosexual military women.
4. Heterosexual military men talk to each other about their wives, girlfriends, and other women.
5. Heterosexual military women talk to each other about their husbands and boyfriends, and other men.
"Open sexuality" is only noticed when it isn't heterosexuality. That's what heterocentrism does. I don't think getting rid of DADT will make the sexuality and sexual orientation any more open than it has always been.
