Looks like 58 Arab Linguists have been kicked out for being gay. That isn't a huge number, but I would imagine these people are pretty hard to find.

Here is another.

This one says that around 13,500 men and women have been discharged for being gay over the last 10 years.

I would like to see how that number compares to just regular dishonorable discharges for other offenses.

They do not receive Dishonorable Discharges for just being gay...they receive a General Disharge under less than honorable conditions and there is a difference between the two types of discharges. The overwhelming majority of those that are discharged for being gay are those that play the gay card because...for whatever their reason/reasons they do not want to finish their contract and want to be discharged.
