dating realities in graphic form

I found the following chart on the Internet which graphically demonstrates how people move from dating to marriage. I found the chart rather interesting in a humorous way, and then realized that it demonstrates aptly how different the life of the chart is from that of someone who is gay or lesbian within the military. I took my awesome, army honed power-point skills and re-did the chart with those realities in mind. Below the chart, which I re-did, is the breakdown, point by point, of how I viewed the changes.

The Changes:

1. The "first date" to "hook-up" proportions are all off. LGBT members of the military don't have the opportunity nor the time for first dates, and often are too scared to take them. Online hookups are far more prevalent. I'd have made the arrows even more skewed toward hook-up, but my powerpoint skills are lacking. Moreover, for the LBGT community, they aren't totally separate things. So, I'd have broken the proportion of hook-up/combo/first date down as 40/40/20.
2. Due to the above, the portion you lose to un-attracted or embarrassed goes down (since the hook ups are generally less driven by alcohol and well vetted by the Internet).
3. The largest arrow are those who are lost opportunities due to invisibility. You meet someone, you go out, and then you ignore each other because you're scared or one or both of you are so far in the closet a second date never happens. This is the part that sucks.
4. On the other side, the biggest difference is when you like someone, but you move away. Military members who are LGBT have no recourse to stay together once they meet. That benefit, which is afforded their straight counterparts, is not offered. So, let's say hypothetically you're stationed for three years at Fort Hood and meet someone awesome in Austin. You have a year to meet and woo, and then you deploy. If you make it through that, you've got another year together, max, before you are then moved elsewhere. So, assuming you meet someone the FIRST DAY you get to Fort Hood, and that you immediately begin dating, you have a total of two years together physically before you have to move...and that's really best-case scenario.
5. Down below we have the arrow that leads to marriage for straight service members. Here, I've just put a big red question mark because...well...even if you're lucky enough to live in one of the states which allows for marriage, this is still denied service members.

So, the best case scenario, if one can overcome DA/DT, overcome multiple deployments, overcome multiple moves and the realities of living in the closet...you might get to live together for a while.
