Kathy Griffin headlines DADT-repeal rally as Dan Choi chains himself to White House fence to protest military policy of expelling gays and lesbians

Kathy Griffin was the headliner for the Human Rights Campaign rally for repeal of ''Don't Ask, Don't Tell'' held under sunny skies on Thursday, March 18, on D.C.'s Freedom Plaza, but Lt. Dan Choi ended up with equal billing. After an enthusiastic rally featuring a speech from My Life on the D-List star Griffin, Choi took the stage to encourage the crowd to join him in a march to the White House. Once there, Choi and veteran James Pietrangelo chained themselves to the White House fence. Both were arrested.

For more: Choi and Pietrangelo were arraigned on Friday, March 19. Both pleaded not guilty to charges of failure to obey a lawful order, and are scheduled for trial April 26.

REPEAL IT

[MrRockythesquirrel]

white trash is a attitude NOT a racial thing

Lol, again bringing in religion where it doesn't belong are we? silly.

Your beliefs are your own, and the bible is written quite a long time ago. God and the Bible back then is not meant to be taken literally into todays world.

Match the times, with the lessons of the bible. Interpret them into Todays!!! Life, not 2000 years ago.

The same people talking about how gays "serve honorably in the military" are the same people that claim our military commit war crimes. IRONY!!!!!!!!!!!

@DecadenceDawn because my answer of what I believe would be to lengthy to fit here, all I can do is recomend that you read Romans 5 in the New Testament. It would only take about 5 minutes to read. Thanks again!

[DecadenceDawn]

@mrchiefofsinners So, you believe God does indeed love all of his creations, & if one has "sinned" then all he wants is for them to seek reconciliation, am I correct?

I generally don't agree with these kinds of views because of my personal religious beliefs, & due to the separation of church & state I dont believe religion should play a role in this kind of jurisdiction. I just find it interesting to learn about the reasons for a view point other than my own. Thank you for sharing that with me.

[mrchiefofsinners]

@DecadenceDawn Thank you for the honest inquiry. I have a bachelor's degree in theology, (B.Th), and my studies of Christianity and different world religions have led me to this conclusion. After a person receives the gift of salvation and forgiveness by faith in Christ, it follows that the person's behavior will change for if it doesn't then their profession of faith is empty.

[DecadenceDawn]

@mrchiefofsinners By the way, that comment isn't intended as an attack on you or your religious views. I'm just honestly curious as to what it is that leads you to believe this way.

[DecadenceDawn]

@mrchiefofsinners I've always wanted to ask someone this, not trying to disrespect you in any way, what is it that leads you to believe that God would allow some one to "perish" due to masturbation, porn, or homosexuality? And do you believe that if you only seek forgiveness that you will be saved, or does the person who has sinned have to give up his/her sexuality as well? And if someone who has done nothing but good in their life deserve hell for being gay? What do you think?

@mrchiefofsinners STFU

[FreedomTruckerUSA]

IF you're a soldier and you have a problem with anyone fighting alongside you, then get out of the military you "hetero lump of shit"!~ Thanks Ms. LaReina for that one!

If you are struggling with the sins of homosexuality, adultry, masturbation, porn, abortion, etc., PLEASE, turn to Christ for healing and forgiveness. Christ loves you and will save you for God desires that none should perish.
