Interesting unintended consequence. http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2011/09/23/suit-seeks-greater-separation-pay-for-gay-military-members/

Historical cases are probably SOL.  Going forward, it's obviously not an issue.

Rules were the rules when the folks signed the dotted line.  I'm willing to bet the majority of that separation pay cut decision was to try to weed out folks who claimed to be gay solely to get out of the military.
