The official policy used to be that homosexuals were okay within the military but if they "came out" or were found out by the MP‘s their careers were limited in the following ways: no courses, no promotions, no postings. This policy was changed in the early 90‘s (not sure exactly when) so that they could not be discriminated against career wise. Of course, there will always be people in all walks of life who will give homosexuals a hard time. It really depends on who you‘re posted with, what your trade is and your sex as well. In my experience, lesbians are generally treated better than male homosexuals. I find that most women are just more accepting of gay women than men are of their own sex.
