I know two things about the military. One, there's a rule for everything, or one will be made. Two, rules can be bent, suspended, or rigorously enforced, depending on the personalities of the people involved. It's a world of absolutes, enforced by approximates. So depending on what was going on at the time, how public opinion was on Steve at the time, what his history with the officer making the decision was, what was happening -politically-... They could nail him to the wall, or use him to justify making long-overdue changes to 'don't ask, don't tell'. It just depends.
I do know that marrying a person of the same gender is grounds for discharge from the military, though I think it's more of a general or administrative discharge than a dishonorable one. I could be wrong.
Fury's reaction to Steve declaring intent would be one of two things: 1. (bites cigar) Figures. 2. I didn't know you wanted outta the Army THAT bad... (grins)
