Remember Dan Choi? Most people probably don’t. He was the homosexual US Army veteran, a former Lieutenant, who led protests outside the White House in an Army uniform.
The trial for his 2010 arrest, before which he’d chained himself to the White House fence line and then “went limp” while being arrested, finally ended. He was convicted and Read more

According to the Stars and Stripes, three more members of the US Air Force have requested discharge due to their homosexuality:
According to the Air Force, during the past month two female staff sergeants and a male 2nd lieutenant made statements identifying themselves as gay and asked to be separated quickly from the service.
While these discharges were once non-events, they are now front page news because of their rarity and the fact the Secretary of the Air Force has to approve them.
As with the other recent case, the article indicates these Airmen wanted to be discharged, and to be discharged quickly, before the repeal of DADT. While homosexual advocacy groups have made much of the “victimization” Read more
Former Army Lt Dan Choi announced in the Huffington Post that he intended to rejoin the military service now that DADT has been repealed. Homosexuality aside, Choi may have other issues to overcome before the military will let him in.
Choi, originally promoted to “Mr.” below-the-zone for being homosexual, reportedly admitted to being “involuntarily committed” to a psychiatric ward due to Read more
According to news reports, former Army Lt Dan Choi (once again) chained himself to the White House perimeter fence, resulting in arrest by the park police. Rather than walking away in cuffs, he apparently chose to “go limp.” Last time Choi did the same thing he was actually still an officer in the Army.
Choi was discharged last summer under DADT, and he recently tried to re-enlist during the 8-day injunction of the law banning homosexuals from serving in the military.
The next time Choi tries to sign up with the military, it should show him the door, regardless of the status of DADT. He apparently lacks the strength of character to Read more
According to an official release, the Department of Defense explicitly stated that openly homosexual men and women may now join the American military. Notably, recruiters didn’t ask about sexual preference to begin with; however, the recent court ruling has apparently caused a spate of attempts to re-enlist by those previously discharged under DADT. These “self-admitting” homosexuals apparently include former Army LT David Choi, among others. The military is reportedly permitting homosexual applicants, while simultaneously cautioning them they may later be discharged if the ruling is overturned.
“Recruiters are reminded to set the applicants’ expectations by informing them that a reversal in the court’s decision of the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ law/policy may occur,” Cynthia Smith said.
Yesterday, the judge denied the government’s request to stay her injunction.
US Army Lt Dan Choi, the opponent of the policy known as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” who has protested publicly in uniform, has formally been discharged from the Army for being homosexual. He announced his homosexuality on TV last year. Criminal charges for his protest at the White House were recently dropped.
