That is not the same thing. There is no provision in the UCMJ prohibiting BEING homosexual. The "requirement" to separate a homosexual from service is a policy not a law.

I had a freind that was charged with GBH under Military law, he had his own QC and the prosicution had a military lawer. When he lost his case, he served his first 30 days in a military prison at Coalchester, and then transfered to a civilian prison to serve the two years remaining before being dishonerably discharged.
