I am always blown away by folks who are treated like second-class citizens in this country and still love it enough to risk their lives to defend it. If anything, the military should be fawning all over citizens that selfless.

Yes, he'll lose, though the effort will bring publicity to it which is more the point.
And hey, I'm blown away by being treated like a second class citizen, but I wanted to serve in the military. I however refused to due to the don't ask don't tell policy. I didn't feel the need to either lie or risk my life for a country that expected me to break the oaths it wanted me to take by forcing me to lie.
Many more gay people would serve if they got rid of the policy no doubt about it. And it is amazing the number of gay people who serve now. Especially lesbians I have noticed.
