Survey shows slight increase in reported number of “gays” serving in the military

Washington Post: “An estimated 66,000 gay, lesbian and bisexual people are serving in the U.S. military, roughly 2 percent of all military personnel, according to a report released Tuesday by a gay rights policy center. The figures suggest a slight increase in the number of gays, lesbians and bisexuals in the military, and they provide opponents of the military’s ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy with fresh data as they lobby the Obama administration for its repeal.”
