You can leave whenever you want. No one's stopping you. If you have an associates you can get a work visa teaching English somewhere "better" at the very least.
Also gays have been able to enlist in the military, I'm not sure if you realize what DADT entails.

Believe it or not, it is not trivial to emigrate from the US permanently. Other countries view us as unskilled brats. Our public education is regarded by the world worse than a degree from U of Phoenix. You might have learned this had you ever bothered to explore your options rather than buying into Uncle Sam's propaganda. The fact that you put the developed world's superiority in scare quotes is pretty laughable - have you seen the state of the USA in the last 10 years? Have you been to the South, or Texas?
I've been trapped in our pyramid-scheme higher ed system for 3 years, but don't worry, I'll be out of your hair shortly. I'm fortunate enough to have a family willing to front the cash for the massive amount in loans I was manipulated into taking out from the US government when I was a child, so I've got an edge on the rest of the fresh, desperate college graduates trying to escape a similar nightmare. Of course, there's no real guarantee I won't be seeing you out-of-control assholes again when you start a war of aggression with whatever state I emigrate to.
As for DADT, gays have not been able to enlist with freedoms equal to heterosexuals until 2011. But hey, why quibble over little details? Gays were perfectly free to live in secret, hide their SOs from all colleagues, and never enjoy the financial protections offered by marriage. That's in the Bible, right?
