Of course that is not how the article was spun but it could have easily been interpreted that way:

Even if no one is asking, Army Sgt. Darren Manzella has been telling anyone who’ll listen that he’s gay — without serious retribution so far from the military. Manzella, a medic who served in Iraq and Kuwait, has acknowledged his sexual orientation in national media interviews and again on Tuesday in a Washington news conference.

"This is who I am. This is my life," said Manzella, who received a combat medical badge for his service in Iraq. "It has never affected my job performance before. I don’t think it will make a difference now. And to be honest since then, I don’t see a difference because of my homosexuality."

Aubrey Sarvis, executive director of Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, said Manzella’s case demonstrates the military is arbitrarily enforcing its "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy now that the country is at war. [AP]

I wish these people would make up their mind whether the military is conducting a witch hunt against them or not because according to this article Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy is working, so what are they complaining about?
