On Civil Rights: Against gay marriage but supports gay rights

So where does Forbes stand on gay rights? Forbes is on record opposing gay marriage. But Forbes' former staffer told me he was sure Forbes would never change his position on gays in the military or his generally progressive stance on gay rights. Forbes' campaign staffers prefer not to discuss the subject of gay rights. But when pressed, they concede that Forbes supports President Clinton's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in the military.
