National Equality March Rally: Lt. Dan Choi speaks

[CountDeSade00]

Although I am not gay it moves me to see this soldier fight for his right to love. Very powerful speach moved me to tears.

[gaymonet55]

Watching this brought tears to my eyes and I have a lump in my throat. Love is worth fighting for!! There are some nice Americans. With all the homophobes no wonder your country is so unpopular world wide.

[gaymonet55]

Watching this brought tears to my eyes and I have a lump in my throat. Love is worth fighting for!!

[bgibb101]

Somebody give that queer riceboy a dry cleaning business. I mean, the clothes will come out looking absolutey fabulous.

[GodCreatesGays2]

@bgibb101, we realize that your idiotic post is a result of your complete, abject stupidity, but instead of urinating all over yourself in public and shaming yourself like this, perhaps you could finally pull your head out of your own ass and learn something.

Or...maybe not, LOL.

[bgibb101]

@GodCreatesGays2 - No sense of humor. OK, how a bout a restaurant? I'm sure the food would be fabulous. i can't pull my head out of my ass - i already have something else up there. (wink!)

[GodCreatesGays2]

@bgibb101, yep, along with your withered head, you have the devil's pitch fork wedged deep up there.

Whatever turns you on, I guess.

[bgibb101]

@GodCreatesGays2 - Just as i thought no sense of humour.

Typical faggot.

[GodCreatesGays2]

@bgibb101, au contraire. I've been laughing at your abject idiocy and ease of pwnage right from the start. :)

[bgibb101]

@GodCreatesGays2 - I have given you a number of long and detailed postings on just how dangerous and life threatening the "gay" lifestyle is, but you refuse to acknowledge the truth. You would rather attack and vilify those who dare to speak the truth about homosexuality. There will be absolutely no unrepentent homosexuals in Heaven. Not one. Scripture has clearly warned you and others about the hatred that God has concerning your abominable "lifestyle." You have been warned once and for all.

[GodCreatesGays2]

@bgibb101 sobs, "you refuse to acknowledge the truth"

I've been explaining it to you from the start, so such a contention can only be attributed to your determination to "see" what you need to see, to justify and wallow in your ignorance.

"There will be absolutely no unrepentent homosexuals in Heaven."

Everyone has something to repent for, but being gay, black or tall are not an issue.

"You have been warned once and for all."

Your Satan-borne threats don't scare children of God. Sorry.

[bgibb101]

@GodCreatesGays2 - If my "ignorance" is based on the living Word of God, then I would rather be ignorant and saved, instead of being an unrepentant sodomite and damned to the lake of fire. Being tall or black has nothing to do with indulging oneself in sexual deviancy. Your own ignorance is showing. As for Satan, he's got you fooled pretty good, hasn't he? The "children of God?' What have they do do with you and your vile kind?

[GodCreatesGays2]

@bgibb101 blubbers, "If my "ignorance" is based on the living Word of God..."

Sadly, it's not; it's based on the musings of the uneducated, fallible men who wrote the Bible.

"I would rather be ignorant & saved"

But ending up ignorant AND unsaved is your problem.

"As for Satan, he's got you fooled pretty good"

Try as you might, he & his disciples like you will never fool those of us who walk with the Lord in His light. Sorry. It's your lifestyle choice to remain wallowing in Satan's filth.

[bgibb101]

@GodCreatesGays2 - Questions. Do you believe that the Holy Bible is the perfect, infallible, inspired Wiord of God? If it is not, how then casn you trust the Gospel accounts of Jesus's life? Indeed how can you possibly know you are walking with Jesus and living in His light if you doubt His word? As for homosexuality and the Bible Please review Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, 1 Corinthians 6:9, Jude 1:7, Romans 1:27. I await tyour comments.

[GodCreatesGays2]

@bgibb101 demands, "Do you believe that the Holy Bible is the perfect, infallible, inspired Wiord of God?"

No one educated in the Bible's history ever could, so no. The book is a collection of man-made myths, fables, and "interpretations" of the world, based on the authors' limited education & superstition.

"how can you possibly know you are walking with Jesus and living in His light if you doubt His word?"

I'm only doubting the human "spokespeople" for God, whose errors are well known.

[bgibb101]

@GodCreatesGays2 - Then how can you ever claim to be a "Christian," or even a "gay" Christian if you dismiss the Bible? And I presume you have tossed out the entire New testament with it? I am amused at those who make the same claims as you. Humans makes errors, God does not. Give me a list of your errors and myths and I will be happy to answer them all for you.

[GodCreatesGays2]

@bgibb101 demands, "how can you ever claim to be a "Christian," or even a "gay" Christian if you dismiss the Bible?"

One need not acquiesce to the arbitrary--and often absurd--dictates of Bible believers to believe in the Lord. And I never said I was gay. Advocating equality for minorities does not make you one of them.

"Humans makes errors, God does not."

As evidenced by all the errors borne from the man-written Bible, which contradict God's truth. The Lord knows best, why argue with Him?

[bgibb101]

@GodCreatesGays2 - Please give me a list of the errors and myths you have referred to.

[GodCreatesGays2]

@bgibb101, well, everything in the Bible is a myth, so I can hardly copy and paste the entire storybook. And the errors derived from it are also numerous. Do a google search; you'll finds reams of examples, far too many to print here. Have fun; you'll be very busy!

[bgibb101]

@GodCreatesGays2 - Do you even attend chuch?

[GodCreatesGays2]

@bgibb101, why are you so terrified and angry about anyone having a personal relationship with the Lord, rather than blindly allowing other men and their organized "religious" institutions telling what to think and believe?

[bgibb101]

@GodCreatesGays2 - "Terrified? Angry?" Not me. I merely asked a question which you did not answer:

Do you attend a church?

[KASHIV12]

HIS SALUTE ISN'T EVEN RIGHT!

[KASHIV12]

THEY ARE A DISGRACE TO THE UNIFORM AND THE UNITED STATES MILITARY. ESPESCIALLY LT. CHOI HE IS A DISGRACE TO THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY. WEARING THE UNIFORM MEANS TO HONOR IT AND SERVE YOUR COUNTRY, NOT HANDCUFF YOURSELVES PROTESTING AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT YOU OBEY UNDER!

[zdanz25]

send them all, maybe they wont come back, hope you hit an IED

[zdanz25]

thank you dan choi for betraying your own country, causing this country to take one more step to its demise, i dont care if youve fought for our country.. thousands of other men have, why are betraying them? your own brothers in arms, you are not a soldier, you are a traitor. You should hung for treason

[freddywpetry]

@zdanz25 How could you say that ?? The fact that a homosexual wants to fight for his country is amazing.Why would you say when that the military is just is targeting men and women who aren't heterosexual.This is fact. I was raised by an Army Jag.They Investigate people just who they THINK are "homo" Why???

[zdanz25]

@zdanz25 how can i? because homos in the military are a ridiculous percentage in the military, and you guys jumped all over this guy cuz hes infantry oooo aaahhhh big fucken woop. The reason y this is bullshit b/c all your doing is creating a faction within the military and making un-united. im not even going to into how homosexuality is wrong in the first place. I be you most fags dont even want to fight for theere country, your only supporting this to push ur agenda forth.

[drill4AF]

maybe dressing in those types of clothes is not good for their image, but maybe work on earning respect and not equality because you cannot earn equality without the respect and dressing that way won't get gays either of them. Yeah women dress that way, but that's because they've been "equal and respectable" in this society, more than gays.

[drill4AF]

True, but in this society women are a little bit more respected than gays as well as there are more straight men in this country than gays, so women dressing that way is "ok," but I believe that no matter who you are, whether you're black, white, pink purple, square, circle, you SHOULD NOT be dressing that way in public. And as the respect of the gays go, straights see gays as those guys who march in the parades wearing suggestive attire, as well as straights are nieve. At gays social standings

[drill4AF]

@unclerukus2 lol thanks ^^

[drill4AF]

Proves how gay he is, his salute is completely wrong! If the gays want any sort of acceptance, they should start by not holding those rediculous gay pride parades, those stupid rallies, and stop bitching and complaining about rights! You who make a big deal about being gay, hurt your own cause! You'll always be different, sorry to say, you'll never be treated the same way. Look at blacks and women, they are always seen differently. I'm neither racist or sexist but you gays need to understand.

[wickedfan5172]

@drill4AF Who cares about his salute? If we want to hold parades, we will. I have been to many and they are actually fun. We have 4th of July, Memorial Day, and Christmas parades to celebrate what people believe in. This is exactly why we have pride festivals and events. They don't hurt anything. In fact, the annual Toronto pride fest brings in millions of dollars to the city every year, as well as the festivals in San Fran, Atlanta, and NYC. Women had parades and blacks had parades.

[drill4AF]

@wickedfan5172 That is true, but based off of what i've seen through the parades, they dress up in really suggestive clothes, even for straights. That stuff is what hurts your cause sorry to say, but it's just the fact that you guys will never be looked at the same way. I'm not completely against gays, but I'm deffinentely not for them. It's just the fact that when I'm in the military, I down't want to share showers with gays that will check me out. There's a whole psychological deal with this.

[wickedfan5172]

@drill4AF I wouldn't worry about the showers. Gay men are almost never attracted to straight men. Why would they go after something they know they can't have? It's just like when women try to turn hot gay guys straight...it just doesn't happen. Straight guys look at each other and have conversation in the showers all the time. As for the parades, the suggestive clothing is no worse than what Hooters girls wear. LOL

[KASHIV12]

WHY ARE ALL GAY PEOPLE FUCKED UP, HE GOT ARRESTED BY HANDCUFFING HIMSELF TO THE WHITE HOUSE GATE, A SECRET SERVICE AGENT ARRESTED HIM FOR THAT

[V8Mustang89]

I don't follow fags into combat.

[celmser]

@V8Mustang89 fuck u u homophobe!

[KASHIV12]

@celmser FUCK YOU GAY MOTHERFUCKER, AND HE'S RIGHT, GAYS SHOULDN'T BE IN THE MILITARY

[wickedfan5172]

@V8Mustang89 Yea, don't allow fags in combat cuz we would fucking kick your ass.

[idonotneedanidforyou]

wow, he speaks Arabic. Cool

[xoxxobob]

This man was willing to strap on a Uniform and protect us! Don't tell us what is a "reflection" on our country if we can't defend this man!

[KASHIV12]

@xoxxobob HE'S A DISGRACE TO THE MILITARY AND TO THE UNITED STATES

[wickedfan5172]

@KASHIV12 FUCK YOU

[KASHIV12]

@wickedfan5172 NO FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKING GAY BITCH.

[wickedfan5172]

@KASHIV12  Wow, you must be really educated! Or a ten year old on mom and dad's computer. Don't worry, son. It gets better!

[KASHIV12]

@wickedfan5172 You think I'm 10, nope not even close, for you however I thought you were a gay middle school kid, now you're a pathetic old man. You don't worry it will get better. 

[X9000BulletsX]

I don't hate gays. But people need to understand that there is more to being gay in the military than just being gay. It's a reflection on the military, its a refection on there country. This world isn't ready for gays in the military, and if people can't understand that then let them continue with these show's, marchers what ever. But nothing will change, the government knows that because there not going to do anything abut it.

[scorzi]

@X9000BulletsX Dude, you realize like ten of the major countries besides the U.S have had gays and lesbians serve openly in the military, right? Most of my friends are Marine vets and say they could give a rat's ass if people are gay. Also, they have kicked out 10 Arabic translators, something we desperately need over there. 

[bstonrlpb]

@X9000BulletsX Is that why every other country BUT the United States allows gays to serve openly? I would think about that "the world is not ready" the world is plenty ready, the US is not.

[coolhype]

POWERFUL! POWERFUL speaker!!!

He has aLOT to be bitter about! Angry and hateful about!

But-- What does he talk about?! LOVE!!

Love of self--love of country--and being loved! Wow!

Testify Lt. Choi! You're AMERICAN!

[pheborloveme]

who is his BF??

[Voyeurreveur]

Dan You are my hero!

[SueJungle]

what an embarrassment. he can't speak korean, but could speak arabic.

[jessemckay]

Dan Choi should be in Leavenworth right now. He is a disgrace to the Army and he should repay every cent the Army paid for his education and training.

Too bad Choi chose the 1971 John Kerry loser protestor motif instead of the 2004 John Kerry lost the election but has a billion dollar trust so who cares motif. Doesn't anyone get it? War protestors were a pack of pathetic, lying losers back in 1971 and guess what, today's Gandhi-come-lately war protestors are losers too.

[ldksparda]

His tiny asian pen0r wasn't enough for women and so he became a queer.

[sTapleEVA]

@ldksparda and who the hell are you?

he has bigger balls than you ever will just by going up there

did you serve our country?

[ldksparda]

@sTapleEVA I'm just an average rich white American that can express my opinions about people. And last I check, all Asian men have tiny dangly parts. That's why they can't satisfy Asian women. And why would I? There's nothing going on right now since we have a liberaltard king and minions in power.

[sTapleEVA]

[ByakuyaSama05]

@sTapleEVA You claim to be a police officer in training. Now that is a load of crock. Because people like that shouldn't be harassing people. :) You'll only lose your job like that and wind up on the other side of the bars. Think before you type. :)

[sTapleEVA]

[mjwatts1983]

Lt. Choi

I salute you.

Thank you for your service in the Army and your continued service.

MM2 (NUKE/SW) USN 2002-08

[Jaiqiao27]

he sounded like MLK Jr. when he began speaking.

[AradiaMagick]

I am a gay and a patriot! God Bless America! One day we will get it right, I have faith in humanity and this country. Thank you Dan for your service!

[Bangkokokhoo]

We love you Dan Choi. you give us courage.

[wheelchair89]

he's a soldier alright! he's a very good soldier. If anyone can serve his country well, no matter if he's gay or straight he still can do what ever he can for his country.

[tumblebugbydand]

@wheelchair89 british army magazine recently had its first openly gay coverstar. i cant remember his name but it was a great moment in moving towards equality. i truely hope america reaches this stage soon. a soldier is a soldier because they choose toprotect those that need protecting, regardless or sexuality race or creed. and the sooner people reconise this in countrys across the world the better.

[kplzCRYPTiC]

Does anyone know where I can find a transcript of this?

[unst0ppable22]

dfdrox I could careless what other languages he knows could they mean nothing to me and I would love to see him try to kick my ass anytime.

pic18usb I never said I hated our troops I support the straight troops that risk there lives for all of us to be here and free (for the most part) so let's use our head and not come up with some bs that I never said alright cheif

[ugboy1]

I just read on Huffington Post that he has been recalled to the army!!!

[unst0ppable22]

I am storngly dissatisfied with this man. there was no point for him to break the don't ask don't tell policy and if he just followed it everything would have been fine but he is just crying out for attention and that's what makes me have no respect what so ever for this guy.

[dfdrox]

unst0ppable22: Lt. Choi is fluent in a language about which you probably know absolutely nothing. He deserves equal rights. There is no rational reason for this antique law to remain on the books. Attention? How about justice?

And for the record, he could certainly kick both our asses at the same time.

Finally, nobody cares for whom you have respect. Based on your narrow view of this topic, we don't want it, anyway.

[pic18usb]

unstoppable22, if you hate our troops so much, then you should just leave this country immediately. We just don't want you here.

[6Air5Guitarist0]

3:45

Since when is my country beckoning me to join the armed forces, especially an officer? No one beckoned him to apply to West Point and graduate. He freely choose to do so.

[PTurchan1]

@6Air5Guitarist0

Such things as civic duty and the often repeated JFK quote come to mind.

[shadowflare04]

All I have to say is really? Really?

Rally's in uniform. Imo this individual has less to do with activism and more to do with a personal, possibly political agenda.. hence going on national tv on a show knowing he'd be discharged.. and again with going to a political rally in uniform. In his uniform for crying out loud! Regardless of his message, this man is a disgrace to the officer corps he once belonged to. This man is not Forrest Gump, he has an IQ higher than 15. He should act accordingly

[hardinmichael1981]

"a personal, possibly political agenda..."

Duh! Everyone has one one! Some people are just Honest about it!

[jackskellingtonsora]

There is a man from the army who speaks out for the family? Really? Thank god, it's about time.

[PirateKing1256]

Wow! Powerful poem!!!!!!

Exellent.

[sniperalaska]

@akula182 you know it's funny how you say he should be thrown off the planet. and that just because he has a degree doesnt make him important. Well incase you havent noticed we need arabic linguistics because we dont have enough. And being in iraq and afgan. They speak Arabic so dont you feel stupid. Hes more important than you'll ever be. And no one cares what hitlers generals had. Just because you have a PHD doesnt mean your going to go and kill thousands of people.

[sniperalaska]

@taelorbae Dude the world isnt corrupt because theres Gay soldiers in it. Think about it sociaty is always changing people change with it. If you really think about it. It's like all the gay people saying the world so corrupt because theres straight people in it.

[kyoureshi]

Wow, I couldn't stop crying-- this is so inspirational ;_;

[borealify]

bornagain001, you lie.

[iphotographedyou]

Electrifying!

[SeanChapin1]

bornagain001, if Lt. Dan Choi is consumed by something, that something is love.

[bgibb101]

@SeanChapin1 - You are confusing love with lust.

[SeanChapin1]

@bgibb101, people experience both no matter if they're gay or straight.

[bgibb101]

@SeanChapin1 - The point here is that Lt Choi is using the uniform of the United States military to make a political statement, which is a disgrace. Military service is an honorable thing, but it should never be used as a testing ground for social engineering. Choi should be booted out in disgrace. he does not want "equal rights," but wnats sexual deviancy to be tolerated within the ranks of the military. Sickening.

[sniperalaska]

@bornagain001 Dude shut up and stop trying to use religous views to satisfy your needs

[u2ke]

this is a huge milestone for GLBT people everywhere. i support GLBT groups cuz i believe love is universal.

[Alphonse23]

this was the most stirring speech of the entire rally.

[Gerrypappa]

i am so proud of you Dan!!
