I support repeal of DADT. Anyone who doesn't is a hypocrite.
So many wrong things in this thread, I almost don't know where to begin. First off, the only way repealing DADT would cause an increase in sexual harassment cases is if gays are more likely to sexually harass some one. Good luck finding evidence to prove that.
Next, sodomy is a red herring. It is very rare for gays to be discharged for sodomy, since it is much harder to prove. Most DADT discharges are for saying one is gay. Next most common, engaging in hand holding/kissing of some one of the same sex. Sodomy requires being caught in the act, which means that it is in barracks, on ship, on some military installation, etc., so the person has already screwed up, since sex of any sort is not allowed.
Third, the whole commander asking thing is stupid. Right now, under DADT, a commander cannot ask, ever, if a soldier is gay. During a DADT investigation, a soldier can be asked if they said they where gay, engaged in gay activities, are married to some one of the same sex, but they cannot be asked "are you gay". This is related to another mistaken comment in this thread...being gay is not against the rules in the military now. You cannot be discharged for being gay, you can be discharged for doing something to admit you are gay, such as telling, engaging in homosexual acts, or getting married to some one of the same sex. It is not allowed for commanders to ask some one's orientation, and the soldier, while they cannot use such blunt language, can in essence tell that officer to go to hell, it's none of their business.
