In 2009 the US Army discharged 428 gays and lesbians without cause; one third less than 2008. Nevertheless homosexueals are still discriminated by the military.

These statistics were published by the Servicemembers Legal Defence Network (SLDN). Since 1993 there is a law “dont ask; dont tell”, which implies that gays and lesbians are just worthy of purposing America, if they conceal their attitude. That leads to huge problems, when homosexuals got to make a secret of their sexuel orientation. But there is a rey of hope. The new president Barack Obama promised that they would get the same rights in army like their heterosexual comrades. This was confirmed by him in his spech a few weeks ago.
