Because most heterosexual audience members seem to be able to stand the idea of gay characters only if they're "neutered" by being played by straight actors.

"There are a lot of questions and concerns about repealing DADT, and no easy answers."
You want easy answers? I'll give you easy answers.
"How will the military now be forced to handle a gay soldier in a relationship?"
Same way as a heterosexual soldier in a relationship.
"Will they be forced to approve of gay public displays of affection?"
It is not the military's responsibility to "approve" of any public displays of affection, gay or heterosexual.
"What about those in the military who aren’t comfortable with their children seeing two men kiss while they’re doing their grocery shopping in the commissary?"
Too damn bad.
"How will the military be forced to handle a gay soldier who gets married in a state that allows gay marriage?"
Same way as a heterosexual soldier.
"Will gay spouses receive military benefits now, too?"
Yes.
"And what about the gay servicemembers who aren’t married because their state doesn’t allow it, but are in committed relationships — do they qualify for benefits, too?"
No.
"Will gay and straight servicemembers be allowed to sleep in barracks together?"
Yes.
"What about when a unit is deployed, and the men are forced to sleep in even closer quarters?"
What about it?
"What will happen to the soldier or Marine who is uncomfortable with sleeping next to a gay man?"
Get over it, or get out.
There, that was easy.

I think the whole ruling is BS, but that was the reasoning behind it.
