Contrary to what many believe, male-on-male rape in the military is usually inflicted by heterosexuals to assert "power, intimidation, and domination." Stephen H. Miller argues that confronting these rapes is an added benefit of repealing of Don't Ask Don't Tell:
A key argument by those opposed to letting open gays serve in the military was that it would lead to sexualized barracks (often with the none too subtle invoking of gays as sexual predators). In all likelihood, having open gays around will decrease the incidents of male-on-male sexual assault. Reporting and follow-up measures being put in place measures to protect straights from gays will have the effect of protecting both gays and vulnerable straights from the assaults of twisted, hetero bastards.
