Wrongness here is really nobody's place to say. If gay people aren't allowed to be in the military, its like saying they are not allowed to be heroes. However, gay people are apparently quite brave by standing up against the world. Paul the Apostle lumped gay folks in with murderers, and whether that was fair or not, it seems the military would be the perfect place for such persons.

In the past, the main fear was that with the militant attitude so many had, they would try to pull that while in the military. The top brass felt that anyone knowing about anyone's sexuality was bad for morale. Would you want to share a foxhole with someone you think wants to rape you? Gay folks don't do that for the most part, but you know how bigots think. Then Bill Clinton put such reasoning into law. Now the biggest problem with that was when the most discrete gay soldiers tried to keep that to themselves but were still investigated and discharged in McCarthy style. If "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," only extended to what was directly expressed, that would be one thing, but it allowed witch hunts too.

What is the democratic view on gays serving in the military?

If you mean Democratic as in, pertaining to the Democratic party, then the Democratic party has argued that gays should be able to serve in the military. If you mean democratic as in, what the population would vote for in a referrendum, then it depends entirely on the population in question. I think that such a referrendum in the USA today would be very tight between supporters and opponents.
