Dan Choi back in Active Duty
It's true that DADT has still not been repealed, but what's curious is that Dan Choi was supposed to be at a gay rights event, when he informed them he couldn't attend because he was called back to active duty.
Gay military rights advocate Lt. Dan Choi has been reportedly called back into active duty. Photographer Jeff Sheng, who recently turned his lens on active gay and lesbian service members, confirmed the news in a blog posting on Bilerico.com.
I'm not really sure what happened to cause this. To my knowledge, nothing within the defense department changed, so I'm a little confused. Let me clarify. Gates did talk about implementation changes involving third parties, but Lt. Choi wasn't called via a third party. He went on the Rachel Maddow Show and came out. That's a first person. Third person would be Lt. Col. Victor Ferenbach who was outed by another member of the military.
That said, I want to congratulate Dan Choi on being called back to Active Duty and let's ensure that DADT is repealed once and for all.
