If I didn't find it so disappointing I'd find it amusing that CNN and the Republican candidates think that American voters are so squeamish about either the subject or the possibility that a question came from a (gasp!) democrat or Clinton supporter that they edited it out of the now available debate footage.
See Media Matters

CNN clearly is not concerned that GLBT soldiers or voters will find out that their GLBT orientation is an issue. Likewise, but sadly, they also are not concerned that this is a legitimate question for the potential commander in chief.

As a veteran (retired USAF officer, and a combat vet) I can say I neither cared nor knew about the sexual orientation of others at my base or in my units. And I cant imagine how or why I'd care if I did.

What cowardice. I'm really surprised and disgusted at CNN right now.
