Lt. Dan Choi: A Gay Veteran Tells His Story

Parnassus

Friday, November 6, 12:00 PM

Description:

Celebrate Veterans Day early with this moving talk by Army Lt. Dan Choi, the West Point graduate and Iraq veteran who came out on national television—and now faces discharge. Lt. Choi, who served as Grand Marshal of the 2009 SF Pride Parade, is challenging the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy,” under which he could be discharged despite his fluency in Arabic and impressive service record.

Come hear the story of this inspiring veteran, who grew up in Tustin, California, as the son of a Baptist minister.
