When folks from the LGBT community were in discussions about family life and military duty... these folks couldn't say a word, lest they be dishonorably discharged from the military and possibly be charged with a crime. Folks going to boot camp around '97/'98 were told that oral and/or anal sex were grounds for a sodomy charge, after all.
Yes, it was a step in the right direction, but folks still couldn't realistically be open about their love life if you were not in a more traditional relationship. Regardless of intent, it was still censorship.
