Prove that there are gays being discharged every day for making unwanted sexual advances or violating the UCMJ, Navy. I dare ya. In fact, I dare you to prove that gays average a discharge once a month for making unwanted advances.
Most gays are discharged for either a) they turned themselves in as being gay and signed all the paperwork necessary to get out, or b) someone found out that they were gay because of some mutual relationship between them and a member of the same sex, military or civilian, and turned them in. I knew several people who got administratively discharged for being gay while I was in the Navy, not one of those was because they made an unwanted sexual advance.
Of course, they are violating the UCMJ by just being in a homosexual, intimate relationship. That is why when I say we need to repeal DADT, I include the caveat, to change the laws against homosexuality.
Believe as you like but I was on 1 ship for 4 years prior to DADT and in that time we had about 10 guys discharged for making advance...That is 1 ship, at the time under Reagan the Navy had 600 active ships.........That does not count shore stations or the other services......you do the math......15,000 have been discharged since 1993..........I don't know what the breakdown is....Its true there were a lot who said they were gay just to get out but you better believe a lot of them were for their actions to......
