3. I dont think it would be possible to do such a control group
No soldier comes into the military without a history. If you take heterosexuals and put the same restraints on them to see if they experience the same performance deficits it wont likely give the same same results because people who are heterosexual don't have the history of prejudges from growing up.

While I like the idea that of "A real performer doesn't allow anything to intrude on a physical or intellectual test, especially not having to keep some dark secret." I do not think its universally true or something admirable and in many cases Id say demanding such an attitude would be harmful IMO.
