You are forgetting that homosexual activity is still against the UCMJ Article 125 and in some cases Article 120. Repealing DADT does not change the UCMJ. Homosexuals will be allowed to serve openly, but if they commit any homosexual activity, they can be tried and discharged under the UCMJ.

Nothing that has been discussed about DADT involves the changing of the UCMJ.

The only thing that is changing is that third party reporting will not subject a military member from being discharged, unless they can be court marshaled for a violation of the UCMJ and specifically Articles 120 and 125.

So if people think that with the repeal of DADT where will be rampant buggery in the ranks, they are safe.
