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



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.
