Dan Choi was interviewed by Newsweek (and I do have a link for that). He discusses his recent protest at the White House, which landed him in jail for the night. The point that caught my attention:
He's giving up his military rank, his unit (who are like family), his veterans' benefits, and his health care. Many of the gay lobbyists have access to fancy meals and lots of prestige and aren't willing to sacrifice that. What are you willing to sacrifice? Jesus didn't need major donors. Gandhi didn't need 3-course banquets. Harvey Milk (and Jesus and Gandhi) lost their lives for their message and the message endures.
