Well, unless you want to risk your career. But that’s brave too! The death of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, declared unconstitutional by federal Awesome Judge Virginia Phillips in California, is actually not complete. If we were watching paint dry — and this whole thing is just as painful — we’d be at the point where the wall looks fantastic, but you still shouldn’t touch it because it’ll smear and get on your clothes. That’s because Phillips gave the Log Cabin Republicans until Sept. 16 to propose language for an injunction, and then granted the government’s lawyers at DoJ seven days after that to counter. But even then Phillips could still stay the decision until all appeals are exhausted. Or she could turn her courtroom into Soul Train and have everyone start dancing in front of the cameras.
halt, who gays there?
Just Because DADT Is Unconstitutional Doesn’t Mean Gay Soldiers Should Come Out

How about we add an “Un” to the “constitutional in that headline, huh?

I wish we had a better go-to person for the media. Choi is a very bad speaker.
Michael
Oh but you are wrong! Why not come out, lose your job, then go sue Virginia Phillips? The law is the law, and provided you have enough money and patience, you will win.

Choi is a very “POOR” speaker Andrew…but given that sentence I don’t believe you should be a judge on the quality of the speaking skills of others.
Justin
@Topher: Choi is a terrible speaker. Bad, poor or whatever. He just isn’t very compelling.
BjBien1010
i agree, Choi isn’t very compelling.

Why is it that gasbag MSNBC newscasters are given more time in which to ask long-winded, multiple-part questions than the person at whom the question is directed?
She cut Choi off before he was able to answer her first question.
HFR!
McMike
Wow, I can’t believe people are dissing Choi so much. The guy is doing more than anyone else to get DADT repealed and all we have are a bunch of bitchy old queens who can’t seem to fathom what exactly this man is doing for us.
Grow up.

@ McMike
i do infact think Choi is doing a great thing was pissed when a loser fame whore faggot like Adam Lambert was next to him on OUT MAGAZINE’s 100 Gays of the year for refusing to come out during AMERICAN IDOL and the capitalized on his sexuality only to get the cover of Rolling Stone.
that being said, i still don’t think Choi is engaging. he is doing important work and i commend and support him. i just wish he carried himself in that way that say Anderson Cooper does.

@McMike: They probably still call the LCRites “Jewish Nazis” even though they’ve already done more with one federal lawsuit than The One or any of those on the left side of Gay Inc.
