Well, the UCMJ does have to be revised regarding that. But that's because Lawrence v Texas pretty much makes that clause unenforceable anyway.
You flat out *cannot* make homosexual *acts* illegal anymore. Not if they are consensual. Period. End of discussion.
A lot of places still haven't changed laws about "sodomy", but if they are dumb enough to try to enforce them, they'll get a major legal slapdown and be forced to change/remove said laws.
"Being" homosexual (but not engaging in homosexual acts) is apt to be covered as fallout from this decision.
And even if it isn't, given the reasoning on this decision, it'll be really hard to make enforcing any rules against being homosexual stick.
Congress may not *want* to revise that part of the UCMJ. But if they don't, the courts will do it for them.
