Like it or not (and I don't), gays and lesbians are still legally prohibited from service in the US military. If soldier A outs soldier B, and soldier B admits homosexual behavior, than she/he is out of the service. On the other hand, if he/she denies that behavior, and there is no proof, there are no grounds for separation. There is no prohibition of military service by a celibate homosexual. See this, and scroll down to section 654(b).
