Dan Choi Is Gay

Here's an amusing video clip from The Daily Show of John Stewart and John Oliver discussing the plight of Lt. Dan Choi, the National Guard platoon leader who is being discharged for being gay, under the military's idiotic "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. I think they firmly establish that Dan Choi is gay.

Choi is an Iraq combat veteran and a West Point graduate with a degree in Arabic, as well as a founding member of Knights Out, an organization of out Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender West Point Alumni. In light of his dismissal from the military, here's Dan Choi's open letter to President Obama and every member of Congress: Gay soldier: Don't fire me.
