While visiting FDL, you may have noticed the smiling face of a man in uniform, attached to these words:

“FDL is important because our words are not just meant to echo within ourselves, but to echo with future generations.”

The words and face belong to Lt. Dan Choi.

Lt. Choi is in Moscow this weekend, in solidarity with the formidable and brave activists of GayRussia — and has now been arrested for taking part in a Moscow Pride demonstration.
