The higher the rank of the soldier, the more likely he is to be prejudiced against gays in the military.

A long time ago we could have replaced the term "gays" in your post with "blacks" and your post would still make sense. The early days for any change will be rocky, but eventually it will become as normal as previous transitions. Society is changing for the better and as each year passes, just like on civie street, it will be a little bit easier for gays to be integrated and accepted.
The army will get over the fact that nobody should have to hide something that is as natural as skin color.
