Realizing there was someone in the room who didn't know his sexual orientation, the officer pretended it was a joke and laughed it off

Ooops first comment, sorry. Should have been about the article.

"My presence every day here at work proves 'don't ask, don't tell' is obsolete," he said. "I'm living in a post-don't ask-don't tell world already."

It's terrible that that policy will continue to have a lasting effect on military culture even after it's dismantled. I wouldn't be surprised if DADT contributed to homophobia far more than it reflected the homophobia that already existed.
