I personally got out of the army reserve in 1995 by telling my First Sergeant I was gay and that the sergeant in charge of me had said he’d kill anyone he found out was gay. He really did say that.

Then I had to talk to the commanding officer. I started to tell him what my sergeant had said and he tried to stop me, to tell me not to tell. But I told! And I told him I didn’t feel safe now, so I got let right out of my military contract or whatever you call it just like that.
