2 Arrested at White House Protesting “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

HeadlineMar 19, 2010

Two people were arrested outside the White House on Thursday in a protest against the military’s ban on openly gay servicemembers. The two handcuffed themselves to a portion of the White House fence after leading a rally calling for the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” One of the arrested was Lieutenant Dan Choi, an openly gay servicemember who’s faced discharge since publicly defying “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” one year ago.
