Lieutenant Dan Choi is being fired because of his orientation. Lt. Choi acknowledges that he is one of tens of thousands, but we recognize him as a symbol of everything that’s wrong with this policy. A West Point grad, infantry officer, Arabic linguist, and Iraq vet – whose soldiers know he is gay, and support him – is being dismissed.
Knights Out is calling for a day of action on behalf of Lt. Choi and all those who are affected by the anti-gay Don't Ask Don't Tell policy.
On Tuesday, May 12, call the White House at 202-456-1111.

Knights Out - Westpoint LGBT Alumni Group Unveils
A courageous group of alumni from the military academy West Point have come out of the closet and formed an organization called Knights Out to support and advocate on behalf of GLBT soldiers.
The group’s activities and goals will include:
- Financially supporting and providing speakers for AOG and West Point efforts to educate cadets and graduates in sexual diversity
- Providing a web-based forum (www.KnightsOut.org ) for furthering discourse on this topic among Army leaders
- Participating in West Point AOG’s upcoming (annual) Diversity Leadership Conference
- Providing LGBT graduates who have been disenfranchised in the past with a way to reconnect to the AOG
- Establishing a Knights Out affinity group through the Association of Graduates
- Serving as positive role models to cadets and graduates
