Choi hospitalized

News leaked out last night that Dan Choi, the fella who chains himself to the White House fence about once a month because he has trouble following policy in regards to his former military service is “in the hands of professional mental health practitioners at a Veterans Administration facility” according to Autumn Sandeen at Pam’s House Blend.

Of course, this is an opportunity for Pam, Autumn and Dan to blame their mental instability on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell;

So yes, this is newsworthy, and Dan clearly wanted to share what he could have left private, or had to deal with had information about this leaked out. But this is another gift to the community — to open up a multi-faceted discussion: 1) the mental health toll taken by gay and lesbian service members; 2) the stressors that arise when also thrown into the public eye as a matter of fate or circumstance, not as a job.

Is there nothing that can’t be blamed on DADT? Choi shoved his sexuality in our face, so I don’t know what these clowns are talking about in regards to “the closet” and poor Dan. Just like the birthers, Choi chose to end his career and disregard the DADT policy. Not to mention chaining his ass to the White House fence while wearing the uniform of an Army lieutenant no less than three times. And getting arrested for it. Now he has a case of the drama queen vapors.

Yeah, I’m no mental health professional, but if being gay is normal and “coming out” is so therapeutic, then why are the Pam’s Blend crowd all telling us about their therapy today? Like I’ve said before, I have no problem with the gays, I have no problem with their silent service, my problem is when they use their service to promote a political agenda. Choi, who is famous for political stunts, seems to be involved in yet another political stunt.
