WASHINGTON—An article in the Pentagon’s top scholarly journal calls in unambiguous terms for lifting the ban on gays serving openly in the armed forces, arguing that the military is essentially forcing thousands of gay men and women to lead dishonest lives in an organization that emphasizes integrity as a fundamental tenet.

Harvard Humanists Honor Lieutenant Dan Choi for Commitment to Equal Rights
CAMBRIDGE – The Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard and the Harvard Gay and Lesbian Caucus will honor Lieutenant Dan Choi and his commitment to equal rights for gays in the military on September 17.
On March 19, 2009, Lt. Dan Choi announced he was gay to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. Overnight he became the courageous face of opposition to the U.S. Military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.
An articulate, wise, and patriotic West Point graduate – not to mention an Arabic linguist and Iraq veteran – Choi was recommended for discharge from the United States Army after his appearance.
Choi hopes to repeal the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. Speaking publicly about his sexual orientation and demanding equal rights for gays in the Army, Choi continues to draw attention to discrimination against gays, demanding the rule be overturned.

Two recent stories about Dan Choi and “don’t ask, don’t tell” that you may have missed: an article in ColorLines, an online newsmagazine about race and politics, and an Advocate profile of Dan.
Also, while Congressman Patrick Murphy and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand are working hard to keep this on the agenda, the Advocate reports Sen. Dick Durbin saying that the Senate is too busy for “DADT” repeal.
You will be hearing from Knights Out soon on how you can help keep this important issue of national security on the legislative agenda.
