Gay war veteran testifies on White House protest

ILGCN-PL NOTE: Here we go again, Dan Choi the celebrity activist and former military officer hoisted to pop-culture icon status by gays and professional lefties who do not know nor understand that it is against the law to participate in any political protest while in uniform and active duty - regardless of your sexual orientation. Dan has broken several laws and I am not to certain that his credentials as an activist warrant his demand for reinstatement into military service. First and foremost officers must be of reasonably sound bearings. It is clear to me that Dan has issues he needs to resolve besides being Republican. WASHINGTON (AP) - A gay former Army officer arrested outside the White House for protesting the government's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in the military testified at his trial Tuesday that he was proud and willing to go to jail. Dan Choi is accused in federal court of ignoring police orders to vacate an area in front of the White House after he handcuffed himself to the fence outside the landmark building during a protest last November. He told the court he believed in his cause and drew inspiration from the civil rights movement decades ago. "The right to speak on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves is more than a privilege," said Choi, his voice rising with emotion during a cross-examination that turned confrontational at times. "It's a moral responsibility and I take that seriously."
