1LT. DAN CHOI, speaking at the DADT Protest & Memorial for Leonard Matlovich in Congressional Cemetery the day before the National Equality March. He recently extended the arc toward justice for gay servicemembers initiated in 1975 by Leonard by stating I am gay on national television. An Arabic speaker, infantry officer, and Iraq combat veteran, he is awaiting the final decision of the commander of the U.S. 1st Army after being recommended for discharge under DADT. As a West Point graduate, he is a cofounder of Knights Out, an organization of West Point alumni, faculty, and staff working to overturn DADT. Before coming out publicly as a gay servicemember, he campaigned against passage of Californias Proposition 8 and continues to advocate for state and federal marriage equality.
