It's a stupid and unfair policy that needs to end.

Terrible and just wrong.

Your title is off by a hundred or so. The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language School is known as the Presidio of Monterey Gay Hunting Club. No big secret in the military. One of the reasons the military had a hard time getting Farsi and Arabic speakers for Iraq was that they knew if they didn't want to go, all they had to do was be outed.

...there are numerous countries, some with powerful militaries, that either (a) guarantee gay citizens the right to serve openly by offering protections, or (b.) do not maintain an official policy protecting gays in the military but do not have a policy banning them from service either. Most EU nations, along with some non-EU countries, fall into one of these two categories.

isn't there a shortage of arabic and farsi linguists in the US military? does the country can afford to be that picky?

I'm sure they'd translate information in a very gay way

I'm sure an openly gay translator would be really popular with the Arabs. What happened to all the talk about trying to to be sensitive to Islam and local culture? The guy would be a poster boy for Al Qaeda and the Taliban recruiting.

The gay Americans aren't coming for your daughters but your sons. Sounds crazy but those guys kill for cartoons they don't like and phony stories about flushing Korans at Gitmo.
