Interview with Lt. Daniel Choi

Interview with Lt. Daniel Choi

by Delena Wilkerson, Publisher

Fri, Oct 30, 2009

Veterans Day is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans for their service and their sacrifices. In honor of our LGBT soldiers and vets, 10,000 Couples Publisher Delena Wilkerson spent time with US Army First Lieutenant Daniel Choi and his partner, Matthew Kinsey. They were very generous with their time and as a result we have a two part series. Part 1 focuses on Lt. Choi, his experiences as a young soldier, his work on behalf of LGBT soldiers who risk their lives on America's behalf, and his thoughts about our fight for equality. Part 2 will focus on Matthew's experiences as the partner of an Iraqi vet living under Don't Ask Don't Tell, and his advice for other spouses.
