"Until we have full equality!"

Per @DCAgenda: Yellow police tape is being put up around Dan Choi, and Secret Service agents are standing with him. Choi remains chained.

This is the kind of direct action the US LGBT movement needs right now. I just got back from DC on Tuesday night. This makes me wish I had stayed!

7. Did I miss something? Wasn't he pulled back into active duty?

Not that the main problem is over, but I would think he would be busy.

Looks like Choi jumped into Kathy's HRC photo-op/reality show material event. Good for him.

More civil disobedience is on its way.

9. Lt. Dan Choi today rose to the level of a national treasure and hero.

Nothing will ever take away from this single moment of heroism.

I love this man and I am so torn up at this moment emotionally that it is hard to even post.

Here is our hero!

10. What true LGBT leadership looks like

While old Joe is standing around for photo-ops, these men are fighting and taking risks for equality.

What an amazingly stark illustration of the gulf between the cocktail crowd and the true activists.

I so very much wish I was there today.

Unfortunately, his nation fails to appreciate his sacrifice.
