That's totally not what I meant. I didnt know how else to describe that we knew who they were, even though it was "dont ask dont tell" everybody "knew" even if it was just speculation. I did not mean to imply that they were all showy about it.
I'm glad it was repealed, but I still worry about their safety. I worked with some real asshats while I was in the military, and I dont know if the military is ready to step up and take action against bigots if they act like a doofus. THAT is my biggest concern. I have friends who agree that gays should be able to serve but only under DADT, where as prior to DADT, they were asked, and if they said yes, then they werent allowed to serve at all. If the military is going to be hard core about other "rules" being broken, they'd better be ready to punish homophobes who resort to violence.
