they are making it public. actions speak just as loud as words. they are: number one-allowed into the military. number 2: are told of the policy. therefore, they arent being discriminated against. they are being allowed in. but they are going against the policy. as bad as you might think the policy is, they went against the set rule that has been there for decades.
if they get "caught" in public, that means they are expressing their sexuality openly. in military towns, you cannot not be seen if you are publicly showing it. on or off base. doesnt matter. first thing people do in the military is go off base. it would be hard to not get caught
