On what grounds is the Don't Ask Don't Tell Policy really enforced in the military?

I know several gay/lesbians in the service, some who have served for many years, and one of which who's technically married to someone of the same gender in the state of Mass. I know it takes more than someone simply making an accusation that a solider is gay/lesbian. But really, where is the line drawn? What does it really take to actually be discharged on those grounds?
 
I suppose when you are "openly gay" you will be discharged. There have been some pretty high profile "don't ask don't tell" incidents lately, most notably the young Soldier who said he was gay on national T.V. knowing he would be discharged, and he indeed was discharged shortly thereafter. He made this 'sacrifice' to bring media attention to his cause.
