Lt. Dan Choi Reactivated For Deployment By New York National Guard

Lt. Dan Choi has been called back to duty. This is an unusual event given that Lt. Choi is openly gay, and it has been recommended that he be discharged from the military for being so. Unlike Colonel Victor Fehrenbach, Choi’s homosexuality was personally disclosed instead of him being outed by a third party. Lt. Choi has been a vocal advocate for the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and has been featured on The Rachel Maddow Show and recently introduced Senator Kirsten Gillibrand before her speech to the Human Rights Campaign’s New York Gala. Choi is a member of the New York National Guard, which means that he is not full time military.
