People on both sides of this issue have to learn to behave.  If you consider how much stupidity goes on between men and women and how long it's been happening, it's easy to see that even in hetero circles these problems are not sorted out.

All the men are showering together now, they all know that some of the men are gay, so what?  Knowing which ones shouldn't change anything, should it?  The gay guys are obviously keeping a low profile now, why should that change?  My experience has been that men are afraid of gay men because they think the gays will be as predatory towards them as the straight men are towards women.  I think that being confronted with the idea of reverse predation might make men consider how they behave towards women... okay, well probably not, but it's a good idea anyway.

If men are not being assaulted and raped by gays in the military now, then changing the "don't ask, don't tell" policy isn't going to make any difference.
