OK, time for a dumb question.

Being neither gay nor in the military, I haven’t followed DADT other than to hold the position that gays should be allowed to serve.

Question: Does the repeal mean that gays can now be discharged even if they are not asked and/or do not tell? Or does it mean that gays can serve in the military?
