"Love Is Worth It": Iraq War Vet Facing Discharge for Violating "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Helps Lead Massive Rally for Gay Rights

President Obama has once again pledged to repeal dont ask, dont tell, which bars openly gay men and lesbians from serving in the military. But many queer activists are frustrated with Obama for neither following through on previous vows nor offering a new timetable. We speak with West Point graduate and Iraq war veteran Lieutenant Dan Choi, whos facing discharge from the military for revealing he is gay. He was among tens of thousands that marched in Washington, DC on Sunday for gay rights. [includes rush transcript]

  • I don't see a problem with 'Don't ask, Don't tell' you shouldn't be discussing your sexuality with other soldiers in the first place?

  • idk why gays want "equality" they have all the same rights as normal ppl. its just not right to let them marry. the military should look at one thing. is the soldier capable of doin his job in any circumstance.

  • does this feather boa clash with my combat boots?

  • @captalex1 Retarded elementary school level speller.

  • Seriously everyone. Just because they're gay doesn't mean they want to do you. Thinking that way is just unprofessional and paranoid. Gay people are everywhere, not just in the military. Get over it.

  • Poofters can't handle it. Not everybody is ok with their filthy lifestyle decision.

  • go for it man

    hooah!!!!

  • dude over ther risking his life and americans hate him. i wish i would risk my life for people that cant accept me. thats why my black azz will never fight for this country. look at how they feel about the very people who are dying for them.

    i tell any black that risks his life for this country" youre a dayum fool"

    all the gays should come out at once and either they forced to accept them or its a mass exodus. and whos gonna fill that void? i bet this hateful piece of shit captalex wont .

  • azn hitler oh noes1!111!!!

  • GAY AS FAGS
