"Don't ask, don't tell" no longer enforced, Dan Choi reenlists - Don't Ask Don't Tell - Salon.com
Yesterday, U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips refused to stay her decision to end "don't ask, don't tell," the longtime ban on openly gay men and women serving in the armed forces. By the end of the day, military recruiters were accepting gay and lesbian candidates. And Lt. Dan Choi, the Iraq veteran, West Point grad, and gay rights activist, went down to Times Square to reenlist. His request is being processed. (Choi first attempted to enlist in the Marines, he said on Twitter, but he was told he is too old.)
