Outside of the USA, what is the policy on openly gay people serving? Is this a source of contention in other countries, or is the status quo (whatever it may be) unchallenged?

And while we are on the subject, are there racial or religious prohibitions against serving in the military outside of the USA? For example, are Indios (sp?) excluded from the Mexican army? Can Muslims serve in India?

There was a time when race and religion could disqualify you from service in the USA, but we moved past that. Could sexual orientation be next? How has it worked out (or not worked out) in other places?
