One of the questions came on video tonight from a soldier in Iraq named Stephen Hill, who said that until recently he had to lie about himself in order to serve — because he is gay. He then asked the candidates whether under their presidencies, the social progress that has been made, allowing him to serve in the military openly, would be reversed.

At the end of Hill’s question being played on the large screen, the Fox News broadcast clearly picked up members of the audience booing the soldier.
