I think that is part of my question/ignorance. His partner was dressed in jeans and a tee shirt, while he was in daisy dukes, tee shirt cut above the abs, and a pair of cowboy boots sucking on a lollipop. His mannerisms were over the top and exaggerated. I asked my wife if she thought he was doing it for attention and she said she had no idea, but that they looked like they were having a good time and enjoying themselves. I guess that's all that really matters.

I'm happy that you finally don't have to hide who you really are as well. As stated in my OP I was friends over the years who confided in me that they were gay before DADT was ended. They always said that was the part that hurt them the most. Supposedly part of the military is about integrity and honor and they had to live a lie or be thrown out. So I am very happy for you.
