- I *CANNOT* post to soc.motss, but you might pass this on. Not only
- will they try to use the UCMJ sodomy statutes against gays, the word is
- out that will try to use the "False Official Statements" offense against
- gays and lesbians who come out after the ban is lifted, since they did
- sign a statement when they entered the service that they were not gay.
- Gays in the closet in the military should stay there even after the ban
- is lifted unless they want lots of trouble.
-
- People who come out after the ban is lifted could possibly get away
- with it by saying they were telling the truth at the time, and found
- out they were gay later.
-
- Don't know how well it would work, but it's one possibility...
