I look at Britain for a tinge of guidance... Britain dropped its exclusion of gays in the military, and while a brief hailstorm of criticism and doomday predictions ruled the headlines for a while, eventually it all faded away with little harm done to Britain's armed forces, which have served honorably and courageously with persons of both sexual orientations in Afghanistan and Iraq alongside the US.
who knows? i think insein and mattskramer are both correct with their analysis of the situation, i'm just showing another example.
for links: i searched BBC news but only found news of Britain lifting the ban and one general resigning in protest. nothing else... seems that nothing bad has happened of it.

i did find this fellow's link, he has an interesting essay in the Army War College Quarterly about all this backed up with evidence and notes. he says military performance with gays included has not declined in israel, britain, canada and australia.
apologies that i couldn't find better links or information.
