In a time when the government is looking to save money, jails and prisons are overcrowded, and prosecutors and courts overloaded, how can this possibly be a good use of resources?

@ Willie Millard: anyone who GENUINELY cared about the issues rather than simply throwing monkey dung at Dan would know that 1. Mainstream media was reporting that there was talk by members of the Senate about giving up on the repeal bill; 2. Historians have credited the attention to repeal that Dan and others maintained with GETTING IT PASSED; 3. NO ONE was prevented from “visit[ing] the White House grounds” during the protest, even IF it had lasted for “3-4 hours” which it did not. Transparently, just like Mr. Riley above, because you offer no criticism of substance but rather ad hominems, you’re obviously just another Obambot angry that Dan and others have dared speak Truth about the failings of Your Lord & Savior Obama Christ. Well, you need to add Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Carl Levin to your Hate List as he dared tell reporters ONE WEEK BEFORE the final vote on repeal that Mr. Obama STILL wasn’t doing all he could to help them pass the bill. So, if you REALLY cared about gay equality, you should be complaining about the President not those like Dan who lost their careers—and have to put up with demonization by members of an ignorant mob like you.

What have YOU done to help make LGBT people freer, Mr. Riley? Never mind. Heroes like Dan do it for parasites like you, too.

Lt. Choi took action to put his career in the military at risk and be discharged for being gay. As a gay veteran myself who served in silence during DADT I can tell you it is a hazard to your duty as a soldier. To have to always be on guard about what you might slip and say or a stereotyped mannerism you might accidentally make. This forced “Closet Law” did not help GLB service member’s it did the exact opposite. It put our fellow brother’s and sister’s in arms at risk. We know this now because they repealed it! Lt. Choi the “media hound” as you might think he is brought the most public attention to DADT than any other single event. He was Discharged. Being discharged for something you are or being discharged for constitutional right to protest and being arrested for it, which caused his discharge under conditions at, is crippling to a soldier’s soul. To me Lt. Choi is and will be a hero for human rights, equality, and the military. This gay Vet SALUTES YOU SIR!

CARRY ON SIR!

Do the crime, do the time. Dan Choi has to realize that his actions were pointless. DADT was repealed by Congress and signed into law by Obama. Gays and Lesbians can openly serve in the military now and even get married.

Dan Choi was naive enough to believe that Obama wasn’t doing anything about DADT while Obama and others were working hard behind the scenes to get it done. Even if Obama wasn’t doing anything, chaining yourself to a fence and denying tax paying tourists the right to visit the White House grounds for 3-4 hours to deal with a you is not going to make a difference.

Dan Choi thinks he is fooling the public into believing that he will re-enlist. At a time when Gays and Lesbians in the military need positive role models in leadership positions in the post-DADT world, Dan Choi is running away from an opportunity to actually make a difference in the military.

He is such a media hound. Who cares?
