[quote=[@Konica]When she became of age Kate enlisted in the military like her parents. Unfortunately she never got to serve. She was discharged after it came to light that she had a relationship with another woman. She spent the next few months of her life lost in a daze. Her whole life she thought she would enlist and fight for something worth fighting for. Suddenly her clear vision of the future was engulfed in shadows. And it didn't help that her father wasn't so accepting of the situation.[/quote]

The "Don't ask, don't tell" law was abolished circa three or four and a half years ago, so unless Kate either joined up before she was even finished in high-school, whatever sexist, homophobic piece of shit wanted to discharge her for it would get into deep shit from the military chain of command for it, and even if they managed to discharge Kate on phantom charges, considering she's a Kane, wouldn't they have lawyers all over that situation in a hot minute?

Also how can she be in the closet if she got discharged for being homosexual? Does she just not talk about? Did nobody bother to look in to [i]why[/i] she was discharged?
