(This post submitted by Becky Kanis, Knights Out Chair) On March 19, Lieutenant Dan Choi came out as gay on The Rachel Maddow Show and violated the military regulation that identifies “homosexual admission” as an offense
punishable by separation.
Below is a point-by-point refutation of James Bowman's article on honor and gay troops, which is marred by errors and assumptions that do not serve to forward the debate over service by open gays and lesbians.
My original commentary on this case did not present the Air Force's side of the story.
