Lt. Dan Choi's powerful and poignant speech at the Meet in the Middle 4 Equality rally held in Fresno, CA yesterday, May 30, 2009 - the first Saturday after the CA Supreme Court ruled on the court case to invalidate Prop 8 that passed in November 2008, eliminating the right of same-sex couples to legally marry. Lt. Dan Choi served in the armed forces for 10 years, specializing as an Arab linguist, and because he recently came out as an openly-gay man has been discharged due to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".
Here is that speech:
OK, so I teared up and cried by the end. Shoot me!
Note to the haters: We. Are. Not. Going. Away.!!!
And so it goes.

This is where I'm losing it on Obama. He's doing a "Clinton." Taking the GBLT vote for granted and telling us to get in back the the bus. He should repeal the ridiculous DADT right now. Period. End of story.
