As Toronto's Pride Week begins in earnest, the fascinating story of the Gay Lieutenant

As Quoted in Xtra, Dan Choi, an Iraq war veteran says:

“I learned in Iraq that there are many different tribes and many different organizations, but it wasn’t confusing in the least bit compared to the real labyrinth that gay politics is.”

It seems preposterous that U.S. gays who are willing to risk their lives in the service of their country are still denied the right to do and be open about who they are.

Let's hope that changes soon.
